Version 4.4 of the AMBER compartment modelling software has been released by Enviros QuantiSci and Quintessa featuring a variety of enhancements, such as the inclusion of units checking.
Since its release in 1996, AMBER has been applied by almost 50 organisations in 19 countries to a wide range of environmental modelling problems, ranging from the geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel to the fate of organophosphates in the soil. To correspond with the release of version 4.4, two AMBER workshops were held in Yokohama (Japan) and Oxford (United Kingdom) to inform users of new developments and to provide a forum for sharing information on the application of the software.
