50 modeling tools. While we pride ourselves on effective and
appropriate use of all these modeling tools, we have over the
years selected a preferred suite of modeling tools and developed expanded
expertise in their use. Programming support for developing new or
customized software is provided by a staff drawing from various
engineering and scientific disciplines (environmental, civil,
chemical) as well as mathematics and computer science. Staff have
experience in using FORTRAN 90, C, C++, Java and Visual
Basic. Geographic information systems (GIS) needs are met by using
Arc/Info, ArcView and MapObjects LT.
