Global Environmental Modelling Systems (GEMS) now have two new subsidiary companies which are complimentary to the existing head company. GEMS now also stands for Global Environmental Mapping Systems and Global Environmental Monitoring Systems. GEMS has expertise in the development and application of high-resolution computer models to realistically predict atmospheric and oceanographic conditions for use in riverine, coastal and oceanic settings.

GEMS Team...

The GEMS team is made up of qualified and experienced physical oceanographers, meteorologists, numerical modellers and environmental scientists; and now GIS experts, and Instrumental Technicians. GEMS have developed a system of validated environmental models and rigorous analytical procedures that provide solutions to a variety of environmental, engineering and operational problems. 

For example.....

1. Hydrodynamic Studies

2. Discharge and Spill Modelling

3. Wave Studies

4. Storm Surge, Tide and Coastal Flood Modelling

5. Tide and River Flood Modelling in Coastal River Systems

6. Atmospheric Circulation

7. Atmospheric Pollution Studies

8. Current Profiling

9. GIS Services

Oilspill Modelling
	It is now 14 years since Graeme Hubbert first began to provide oil spill risk assessment services to the Australian oil industry in response to the need for accurate ocean modelling.

Recogonised Internationally...

The GEMS 3D Coastal Ocean Model (GCOM3D) has a proven track record for modelling ocean currents, particularly around Australia where it was the first 3D ocean model to be used for ocean discharge studies (Geelong Ocean Outfall, 1984). GCOM3D has been validated extensively in many verification studies (particularly by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the major oil companies) and has gained wide acceptance for accurate modelling of coastal ocean currents and tides.  GCOM3D has also undergone a wide range of testing by the U.S. Navy Research Laboratories, which uses the model as part of their ocean forecasting system. 

GCOM3D has been used in a wide range of ocean environmental studies including prediction of the fate of oil spills, sediments, hydrotest chemicals, drill cuttings, produced formation water and cooling waters as well as in other coastal ocean modelling studies such as storm surges and search and rescue.
