What We Do

Offshore Wind Energy

ASL Awarded Subcontract to Assess Metocean Data Needs for Offshore Wind Development in Atlantic Canada


ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. is pleased to announce that it has recently completed a research and development subcontract from Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions Ltd., a subsiduary of Venterra Group PLC as part of a metocean data needs and gap assessment for the development of offshore wind projects in Atlantic Canada for Natural Resources Canada. ASL was selected as a subcontractor for its 45 years+ of expertise in sea ice, ice bergs, and freezing spray accretion as well as a history of delivering successful metocean-ice studies to clients. 

Greenland Climate Research

ASL Co-Sponsors Climate Research Expedition to Southeast Greenland


ASL’s Biological Oceanographer, Dr. Julek Chawarski, successfully completed a research expedition to the glacial fjords along the southeast coast of Greenland, near the Ammassalik Archipelago. Aboard the 16-meter research sailboat Atka, the team focused on glacial–ocean interactions in a region rarely explored by research vessels. While most studies in the area concentrate on the massive Sermilik fjord system, home to the Helheim Glacier, the Atka's crew of five, including two scientists, conducted pioneering research in the surrounding, understudied fjords.
