Climate Quicksand? With climate rules shifting fast, how do companies keep their footing?   As climate disclosure and sustainability rules continue to change around the world, companies trying to stay compliant can feel like they’re standing in quicksand. The risks are real: legal exposure, limited access to capital, and reputational damage.   Join us during 2026 SF Climate Week for an in-person panel titled “Climate Quicksand? Navigating the Shifting Climate and Sustainability Legal Landscape,” bringing together legal, in-house, and technical experts to share real-world insights and practical strategies for managing global disclosure requirements and sustainability risk.   Topics include: • The current status of California SB 253 and SB 261, and the practical actions companies should be taking now • Key climate disclosure and regulatory developments in California, across the United States, and in Europe • The most significant implementation challenges companies are navigating today • The practical implications of federal policy shifts, including the rescission of the endangerment finding   Tuesday, April 21, 2026 | 4:00–7:00 pm PT Bar Association of San Francisco | 50 Fremont St, Suite 1700 (secured building)   Moderated by Dr. Becky Twohey (Principal Scientist, GSI Environmental; Sustainability & Climate Strategy Leader) Panelists: • Jayni Foley Hein (Co-Chair, Climate Practice at Covington & Burling LLP and Former White House Senior Director) • Michael Steffen (Head of Climate Analytics, Watershed) • Albert Chung, PhD, PE (Principal Engineer, GSI Environmental; Climate & GHG Accounting Leader) • Kristen Sanders (Director, Risk & Asset Management, Good Food Holdings, LLC)   Pre-registration is required.

The rapid growth of AI-driven computing is accelerating demand for new data center capacity, but it also brings complex environmental and regulatory challenges. Water availability, permitting timelines, energy and water tradeoffs, and rising sustainability expectations are all shaping how quickly projects can move from concept to operation. At GSI, we help data center developers, investors, and operators navigate these constraints with integrated environmental and resource management expertise throughout the project's life span: site screening and selection, permitting and construction, community engagement, operations, climate initiatives, and liability protection. By combining technical precision with regulatory foresight, we help de-risk portfolios, streamline approvals, and optimize energy and water efficiency. Our experts help clients bridge the gap between ambitious development timelines and complex environmental realities so facilities can power up faster and remain resilient for the future. #DataCenters #DigitalInfrastructure #EnvironmentalConsulting #SiteSelection #Permitting #Sustainability #WaterResources #InfrastructureDevelopment #GSIExperts

We’re back with another word from our 40 Words for 40 Years series, each one chosen by someone on the GSI team. Today’s word: KEYSTONE. A keystone is what holds everything together. It is the piece that provides strength, stability, and structure. At GSI, being a keystone means being a trusted partner our clients can rely on. It means bringing together technical expertise, practical solutions, and a clear understanding of complex environmental challenges to support progress from start to finish. It is the role we play on projects, connecting disciplines, guiding decisions, and helping ensure that every piece works together as it should. Because strong outcomes depend on a solid foundation and the people who help hold it in place. Follow along as we continue telling GSI’s story, one word at a time. Cheers to 40 years of making science count. 10/40 #GSI40 #40WordsFor40Years #MakingScienceCount

GSI will be in Sacramento for BSMAR 19, the Nineteenth Biennial Symposium on Managed Aquifer Recharge, taking place March 31 to April 2.

We are proud to be part of this year’s program and to share work that helps inform MAR decisions in complex environments. #ManagedAquiferRecharge #MAR #Groundwater #WaterResources #AquiferRecharge #GSIExperts

GSI will be at AAPG Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) 2026, where technical, regulatory, and commercial perspectives come together to shape the future of carbon management. As momentum around CCUS continues to build, so does the need for practical approaches to geologic carbon sequestration, monitoring strategies, and the infrastructure required to support deployment. GSI experts are contributing to the conversation at this year’s conference through a poster, oral presentation, and panel session. Danny Kingham, PG Poster: The Regulation Ready Map Tool: How Ready Is Your State for Geologic Carbon Sequestration? Monday, March 30 10:25 - 10:55 AM and 3:00 - 3:35 PM Christ Niamike, P.E. Presentation: What Are the Trends? Review of Environmental Testing and Monitoring Plans for UIC Class VI Carbon Storage Sites in the United States Tuesday, March 31 2:40 - 3:00 PM Danny Kingham, PG Panelist: Decarbonizing Digital Infrastructure: Role of CCUS in Powering Data Centers Wednesday, April 1 10:55 AM - 12:00 PM We’re looking forward to sharing insights and connecting with others working to advance practical, science-driven carbon management solutions. We hope to see you there! Conference details: https://lnkd.in/dJ524iEi #CCUS2026 #CarbonCapture #CarbonStorage #CarbonManagement #UICClassVI #GSIExperts

We are pleased to share that Hiroko Hort, Ph.D., P.E., David Adamson, and Chuck Newell recently co-authored “Using the Transition Assessment Teaching Assistant to Evaluate a Transition from Pump and Treat to MNA.” Co-authored with John Wilson, Barbara Wilson, Mark Ferrey, David Freedman, Anangelica Rivera-Cruz, and Olivia Groshans, EIT, the article explores how the Transition Assessment Teaching Assistant can be used to evaluate whether a site may be ready to transition from pump and treat to monitored natural attenuation. This paper demonstrates how practical, decision-focused analysis can help clients better understand remedial performance, plan for long-term site management, and determine next steps with greater confidence.

Danny Kingham, PG, Shailee Bhattacharya, PhD, Christ Niamike, P.E., Noah Goodkind, and Travis McGuire, P.E. recently co-authored “Is your state regulation ready? a review of geologic carbon sequestration regulations in the United States.” Co-authored with William Gallin, Paul Franke, Meghan E. Gavin, Emma Thomley, Ryan Kammer, and Ian Sackmann, the article reviews geologic carbon sequestration regulations across all 50 states using 14 regulatory factors tied to project advancement, from pore space ownership and liability to Class VI primacy and pipeline considerations. The result is a practical framework for evaluating regulatory readiness, offering insight for states and other entities looking to develop or strengthen geologic carbon sequestration policy. It also highlights how regulatory readiness often aligns with Class VI primacy, energy production history, and experience with federally supported projects. This publication reflects the technical and policy-focused work GSI brings to complex carbon management challenges.

As part of GSI’s 40th anniversary, we’re partnering with Engineers Without Borders USA to support a critical water project in Peru. We invite you to partner with us by donating here, https://lnkd.in/gYA8XGCD.   Water is everything in the high Andes of Peru. For the Q’ero Anexo Chua Chua community, it’s what keeps crops growing, supports healthy livestock, and sustains daily life for about 150 people and their herd of roughly 2,500 llamas.    Our partnership will support an agricultural irrigation project that adds water storage through a new dam and retention lagoon, connected to a previously built spring box. This added storage means more reliable agricultural water, helping improve food security, animal health, and economic stability for the community.   As we celebrate 40 years of making science count, we invite you to partner with GSI and Engineers Without Borders USA to create impact that extends far beyond this milestone year.   #GSI40Years #EngineersWithoutBorders #WaterSecurity #SustainableInfrastructure #EngineeringTheFutureTogether #Peru #GSIExperts #MakingScienceCount
