ASA develops computer models, which simulate physical, chemical, and biological processes. Our models can be used to answer interdisciplinary questions related to marine and freshwater environments. For 24 years ASA's technically diverse staff has used these models to solve environmental and engineering problems. Listed below are computer models that ASA has developed or co-developed for the oil, gas, chemical and marine industry as well as the fresh water and coastal environments.

Oil, Gas, Chemical & Marine Industry:

AIRMAP: Predicts the 3-D trajectory and fate for chemical products in the atmosphere.

CHEMMAP: Predicts the 3-D trajectory, fate, and biological effects for chemical products in the water and atmosphere.

CMS: Provides Crisis Management Simulation tools for crisis response and training. Includes oil/chemical spill, nuclear explosion, search & rescues, resource management and personnel evacuation.

OILMAP: Rapidly generates predictions of the movement and weathering of spilled oil.

MUDMAP: Predicts the transport, dispersion, and seabed deposition of drilling muds and produced water.

SARMAP: Predicts trajectories and search areas for drifting objects.

SIMAP: Provides detailed predictions of the 3-D trajectory, fate, and biological effects of spilled oil.

Fresh Water and Coastal Environments:

COASTMAP: Supplies real-time and historical environmental data management, analysis, visualization, modeling, and internet-based distribution.

HYDROMAP: Generates currents and water level predictions for coastal waters around the world.

SSDOSE: Calculates the effects of suspended sediment plumes on various aquatic organisms.

SSFATE: Predicts the dispersion and settling of suspended sediments from dredging and jetting operations.

WAVEMAP: Predicts wave fields in the coastal environment.

WQMAP: Determines pollutant transport and fate for pathogens, nutrients, and toxic materials.
