What We Do

Tidal Current Study Rigolet, NL

Tidal Currents Study Underway by ASL in Rigolet, Newfoundland and Labrador

ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. is proud to announce the successful completion of an initial multi-week
study to measure tidal currents in collaboration with the Nunatsiavut Government and Oceans North. This initiative aligns with the Nunatsiavut Energy Security Plan to explore clean, renewable energy solutions for coastal communities and reduce dependence on diesel-generated electricity.

Current transect surveys were initially carried out with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) over the broader study area. ADCPs were then deployed on moorings at three strategic locations within the
Rigolet Narrows waterway and recovered in September 2024. The data from this initial phase was used to inform the suitable site selection for a longer Phase 2 measurement period, which involves the observational study of tidal currents to capture the full annual tidal cycle.

AZFP-nano Early Career Scientist Contest

ASL's 2025 Award Early Career Scientist Contest

ASL invites applications for the 2025 Early Career Scientist Award to win the use of the new AZFP-nano autonomous acoustic profiler for three months.
The goal of this program is to support early career trainees in the oceanographic and limnological research community by lending, free of charge, a calibrated battery-powered Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler™ (AZFP™)-nano with a 200 kHz single beam transducer for a three-month period along with the technical and analytical support from ASL’s team of experts. This instrument loan program is open to early career scientists and engineers, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and others involved in aquatic research. The AZFP-nano is a newly developed, autonomous instrument that can gather backscatter data for scientists on a budget.  

AZFP-nano

ASL Introduces the Compact Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler-nano (AZFP-nano)

ASL is proud to announce the Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP)-nano to its family of advanced acoustic instruments for aquatic environments. This compact, lightweight, single frequency scientific echosounder is a miniaturized version of the AZFP and is well-suited for applications in challenging environments where size and weight are important considerations. This advanced profiler was developed to measure a wide range of physical and biological parameters including, zooplankton, fish, algae, bubbles and suspended sediments within the water column. 

Dr. Humfrey Melling Receives Recognition for his Contributions to Arctic Sciences

ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. is proud to honor and celebrate our most esteemed collaborator, whose unwavering partnership has been instrumental in our company story. DFO scientist Dr. Humfrey Melling was recently recognized for his significant contributions to Arctic oceanography and sea ice processes. In a ceremony held at the Institute of Ocean Sciences and co-hosted by the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS), Dr. Melling was presented with a certificate bearing the title: Fellow of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS) “for fundamental contributions to advancing our knowledge of Arctic oceanography and sea ice processes, over the past forty-five years.”
