UW Student Seaglider Center
We are a student led research center under the University of Washington that manages a fleet of Seagliders that support student-led oceanographic research. With mentorship from experienced scientists, students gain hands-on experience using cutting-edge technology to explore and understand the marine environment.
What is a Seaglider?
Seagliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that collect data on important oceanographic conditions like water temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll. Seagliders can be programmed to repeatedly dive as they glide underwater from one location to another without the need for ships. They can dive up 1000 meters and can stay at sea for months while automatically reporting data back to scientists every time they surface from a dive.
