Austides Consulting is a private oceanographic consultancy specializing in hydrodynamic modelling, particle tracking (including microplastics, oil, sediment, larvae, search and rescue, etc.) and tidal analysis. Austides was registered in Australia in 2000 by myself, Dr John L Luick (CV here). Over the years, I have operated Austides while also contributing to a number of multi-year projects at the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), Flinders University, and James Cook University. I am currently a Visiting Scientist at both SARDI and Flinders University.

For over ten years, Austides has worked in partnership with the marine technology and environmental science group Tridel Technologies, with offices in the United Arab Emirates and India. Austides and Tridel recently formalised that partnership by the creation of Tridel Technologies Australia Pty Ltd, based in Adelaide.
