Remy ZYNGFOGEL Managing Director and physical oceanographer
Remy Zyngfogel has 15 years’ experience as a physical oceanographer. he has extensive sea experience with design and field work implementation. He is now specialised in local-scale hydrodynamic modeling, environmental impact assessment and particle tracking.
He has modelled all the major ports of New Zealand for maintenance and capital dredging, navigation and bio-security applications. He has also undertaken numerical studies of the Marlborough Sounds, Cook Strait and Foveaux Strait, plus numerous coastal sites for outfall investigations and aquaculture scoping. |
SIMON WEPPE DIRECTOR AND PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHER
Simon has over 13 years' expertise in modelling and analysis of nearshore waves and coastal processes at open coasts, inlets, ports and estuarine environments. He holds a Master of Science from Waikato University where he focused on hydrodynamic and morphological impact of a submerged reef structure on the nearshore beach system. He is proficient with a wide range of numerical modeling tools and has been consulting at numerous of NZ coastal locations including most large commercial ports. He was the lead wave and sediment transport modeller for Port of Otago's resource consent application which included morphodynamic modelling of the dredged channel and disposal grounds and assessment of project's impact on surf breaks of national significance. His expertise extends to oceanic dispersion modelling to assess impacts of oil spill, dredging activities, pollution, connectivity studies or support search and rescue.

PETER McCOMB DIRECTOR AND PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHER
Dr. Peter McComb has 28 years’ experience as a physical oceanographer and science leader. He has worked globally on metocean studies, collection and analysis of environmental data, development of marine instrumentation, numerical wave modelling, coastal and harbour process studies, sediment entrainment modelling, seabed survey, offshore engineering design criteria, and coastal process modelling. In 2005, Peter founded MetOcean Solutions Ltd. and provided the leadership of that group until its amalgamation into the Meteorological Service of New Zealand in 2018. He continues to provide science advisory and governance roles for New Zealand agencies.

Our collaborators
We believe in the power of collaboration for success, recognizing the value of insights and techniques derived from a multidisciplinary group of ocean scientists and technical experts with a profound understanding of the ocean. In 2023, we forged a partnership with Oceanum Science, now a shareholder in Calypso Science. The collaboration allows us to leverage Oceanum Science's extensive expertise and portfolio in applied ocean sciences, as well as their state-of-the-art cloud-based infrastructure. This infrastructure facilitates efficient numerical modeling and advanced data management and visualization capabilities, enhancing our ability to deliver high-quality solutions to our clients. We work closely with Kevin Ewans from Metocean Research Ltd with his experience in developing metocean criteria.
