Hydrogeological model
Context
Development of a conceptual hydrogeological model of a mine in Moatize, a city in the province of Tete in Mozambique.
Methodology performed
Results
This work allowed the characterization of the underground water dynamics and its geometry as well as the configuration of the aquifer units, recharge and discharge zones, the vulnerability of these hydrogeological systems to possible contaminants, and the water availability inherent to the project in question and some adjacent areas.

Animal Care
Context
Development of technical, administrative and management services for an animal reintegration program in a fauna shelter located in the region of Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methodology performed
The services in question consist of the development of activities for the reception, treatment and shelter of hundreds of domestic and wild animals in a specific structure, operating 24 hours a day. These services include the necropsy of animals from the fauna shelter or brought from other rescue fronts.
They also include the promotion of welfare and environmental enrichment for the animal with a view to the reintegration of each of the rescued animals, in addition to the management of the adoption process based on specific protocols and other activities.
Results
Clam's team was able to provide efficient demand management for the client, resulting in cost reduction and achievement of goals for disease and injury prevention and treatment, pain and stress prevention and relief, immunization, provision of appropriate food, and other conditions tailored to the animals' needs.

Services in Ichthyofauna
Context
Evaluation of the influence of dredging on schools of fish and the evaluation of impacts on the drift of eggs and larvae (ichthyoplankton) in the Paraopeba River, in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Methodology performed
The services consist of the development of environmental programs for the collection of carcasses, monitoring of dredging and shoals, fish harvesting, monitoring of water quality parameters, monitoring of ichthyoplankton in addition to necropsy for the evaluation of ichthyofauna causa mortis. At the peak of the work, a team of professionals was mobilized, in addition to all the necessary resources such as vessels, vehicles, engines, as well as all the necessary certification of the personnel involved.

Forest fires
Context
Development of a plan for monitoring of surface waters, bottom sediments, soils, fish, fruits and tree canopy as a result of the application of flame retardants in areas where forest fire mitigation actions are planned in the state of Pará, Brazil.
Methodology performed
For the development of the services, collections and laboratory analyses of samples were necessary to assess the impacts resulting from the application of the retardant based on the legal/regulatory parameters of the resolutions of the National Environment Council, Brazilian Association of Technical Standards, National Water Agency, National Sanitary Surveillance Agency and the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, Brazilian agencies that govern the subject in question. The evaluation of the canopy by aerial images of the application areas was carried out using drone overflights. An evaluation of possible impacts was also provided, such as the significant loss of canopy leaves, changes in the canopy color pattern and tree mortality.

Environmental investigation of liabilities
Context
Development of the Preliminary Assessment Report and the Confirmatory Investigation Plan in areas of paralyzed mines.
Methodology performed
Survey of primary and secondary data, including, for example, temporal aerial photogrammetric survey, in order to characterize changes in land use and occupation in the target area and its surroundings; field interviews and inspections. The Confirmatory Investigation Plan is prepared according to the availability, quality of data and information obtained, which will underlie the Initial Conceptual Model of the Area - MCA, with its different levels of uncertainties.
Results
Through the collection of data and developed studies, the aim is to find evidence, clues or facts that allow suspecting the existence of contamination in the areas, verifying the need or not to continue the investigation (execution of the Confirmatory Investigation Plan).

Plano Integrado como estratégia de resposta à incêndio florestal
Context
Altas temperaturas, material combustível e oxigênio formam a combinação perfeita para a ocorrência de incêndios florestais. No Brasil, esses eventos são mais comuns entre maio e outubro, devido à diminuição da precipitação e umidade relativa, além da intensificação dos ventos.
Methodology performed
Desenvolvimento de um Plano de Resposta a Incêndios Florestais (PRIF), sendo necessário realizar uma análise integrada de dados históricos e informações sobre o território. Incluindo a coleta de dados primários e secundários, como características da vegetação, hidrografia, topografia, rotas de acesso e infraestrutura disponível.
Results
Com base na análise dos dados, foi possível estruturar um banco de dados geográfico que sustenta a elaboração de uma matriz de risco. Isso permitiu a criação de um PRIF eficiente, com recomendações como o incremento nos sistemas de monitoramento, otimização dos fluxos de comunicação e aprimoramento das equipes e estruturas de suporte.
