Physical Aquatic Sciences

Making measurements in the aquatic environment demands the best in skill and experience. For over 25 years, ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. has specialized in the physical measurement and study of the world's oceans, lakes and rivers, in environments ranging from the Arctic to the Subtropics.

Our professional consulting services are founded upon our strong understanding of the physical sciences. We study ocean dynamics such as: tidal patterns, current flows, thermal properties, salinity, the action of waves and sea-ice and iceberg climatology. In the freshwater environment, we study flow properties, flushing and circulation patterns, the behavior of discharge plumes, and geo-environmental dynamics such as sedimentation processes. We have expert capabilities in the field, planning and executing studies in environments as diverse as sea-ice platforms, the open ocean, permafrost in soils, and the races of hydroelectric dams.

From a vast array of instrumentation, we offer reliable, innovative measurement techniques, custom-prepared to meet the specific needs of each project. In addition, our compilation and archival of oceanographic data obtained in the waters off Canada’s eastern, western, and northern coasts, represents a major resource to companies and governments engaged in offshore activities. We have also collected extensive data from studies conducted in the Equatorial and North Eastern Pacific, furthering our understanding of the aquatic environment around the globe.

Our personnel have presented the scientific results of these studies published as papers in many peer-reviewed journals and at many scientific meetings and congresses. ASL has developed an extensive library of analysis software for data processing and analysis and numerical modeling.
