We apply dispersion models to predict the fate of any material, anywhere in the ocean. Applications include impact assessment of oil spills, dredging, wastewater outfall, marine farms, and drift predictions for search and rescue and forensics.
versatile particle tracking methods
Our team applies both Lagrangian and Eulerian particle tracking methods to predict impact and locate objects in various environmental scenarios. Whether it's tracking the spread of pollutants or locating drifting objects in the ocean, our models provide valuable insights for decision-making.
open source particle tracking models
We actively engage with and contribute to open-source particle tracking models, ensuring access to the latest advancements in dispersion modelling. Coupled with our ocean modelling capabilities, this enables us to simulate the fate of virtually anything, anywhere in the ocean.
wide range of applications
Our expertise in dispersion modelling is used in various applications including impact assessment of oil spills, dredging, wastewater discharge, aquaculture as well as biophysical connectivity, search and rescue operations or forensics . By accurately simulating the movement and dispersal of substances or objects in the marine environment, we facilitate informed decision-making and risk assessment for our clients.
