Who we are
NorGliders is a research initiative at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen. Our team is comprised of researchers and engineers who are passionate about understanding and exploring the Nordic Seas, a region known for its challenging and variable marine environment. Meet the team
What we do
We work with long-endurance, low-powered, semi-autonomous robots called Ocean Gliders. These vehicles collect high-resolution data across a variety of spatial and temporal scales, providing invaluable insights into oceanographic processes. They sample key physical properties such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll concentration.
Why we do it
These observations help us to better comprehend ocean circulation patterns, climate change impacts, and marine ecosystems. The data we collect not only advances scientific knowledge but also supports climate and weather models, sustainable management of marine resources and informs policy decisions.
