ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION
SUPPORT
Holistic ecological expertise
OUR FOCUS
Great Ecology provides scientific consulting services for environmental cases throughout the United States.
With a deep understanding of ecosystems, we comprehensively assess, quantify, and address environmental injuries while developing ecological remedies.
Our holistic approach to injury assessment considers not just the products of an ecosystem, but also the processes that generate these products. By considering human, wildlife, and habitat stakeholders, we provide a more accurate accounting of lost ecosystem value.
Expert Witness
Great Ecology's Founder & President, Dr. Mark Laska, is an experienced expert witness who specializes in key topics such as NRDA, environmental assessment of contaminants, ecological service and value loss, environmental forensics, target hazardous compounds (PFAS, PCBs, etc.), and resource recovery through restoration design.
