Environmental Science: Data Quality Management
Multi-million dollar environmental decisions rest upon the validity of the underlying data. Gradient's chemists design and manage data quality assurance programs to ensure data are scientifically valid and usable. We can even "salvage" data whose quality has been challenged. Our chemists have been hands-on bench scientists, laboratory managers, and even contributing authors on agency guidance for analytical methods.
Our services include:
- Analytical method selection
- Laboratory selection and auditing
- Sampling/analysis program development (e.g., QAPPs)
- Sampling/analysis Oversight
- Data quality/usability reviews
- Database design and management
- Expert testimony on data validity
