A geologist can compare boring and well logs, geologic maps, core samples, laboratory results, groundwater measurements, site photographs, historical records, and prior investigations. Looking at those materials together can help establish how rock, soil, groundwater, and geologic structures vary across a site and whether the present conditions are consistent with earlier observations.
The analysis may consider bedrock conditions, soil and sediment layers, fractures, groundwater changes, erosion, karst features, excavation, drainage alterations, loading, or other site changes. Rather than attributing settlement, subsidence, or slope movement to a single cause based on appearance alone, a geologist can compare the observed pattern with the site's geological setting and documented history.
Stratigraphy records the sequence and relationship of subsurface materials. When combined with historical site information, it can help show whether a layer or feature is naturally occurring, was deposited or altered by human activity, or changed over time. This can be important when parties disagree about when a condition developed or what physical process produced it.
Useful materials may include boring logs, geotechnical and geological reports, well records, laboratory data, site plans, grading or excavation records, groundwater measurements, photographs, geologic maps, construction records, and documentation of earlier site conditions. Preserving original data and dated records can be particularly important when the dispute involves changes to the subsurface over time.
