Reliable wave data is a must for ocean operations. It can help improve weather models, provide situational awareness for vessels in an operating area, and contribute to safer offshore operations. In addition, for the Wave Glider itself, real-time wave measurements help determine how the vehicle is piloted to achieve mission …Read more

Collecting data and mapping fish stocks can be very challenging especially if you’re trying to accomplish this in the turbulent North Sea. With strong currents, crowded with hazards, such as sandbanks, merchant shipping and fishing vessels, collecting high quality data is daunting. This is especially true when you’re collecting data …Read more

The Kilauea volcano eruption has presented a rare scientific opportunity to study the impact of the lava flow on the ocean. Last month we sent two Wave Gliders around Hawai’i’s Big Island to monitor the water conditions, air quality, and underwater acoustics, and data collection is underway. But another opportunity …Read more

We’ve all seen the devastating images and videos of lava flowing from the Kilauea volcano. Neighborhoods have been destroyed, the Kapoho Bay is now filled with lava, and the shape of the Hawaii Island has changed permanently. As a company with roots on the Island, our thoughts are with the …Read more

World Oceans Day has turned into an annual “give back” day for us at Liquid Robotics. It’s a day to pause our work, band together, and contribute in a meaningful way beyond our office walls and active customer missions. As a maker of an ocean robot with facilities close to …Read more

We’ve conducted Wave Glider missions around the world – from the Arctic to the Southern Ocean (Antarctica), from Indonesia to the North Sea, and in all five of the world’s oceans. Regularly, we receive “postcards” from our mission specialists while they’re traveling the globe. We thought we’d share a few …Read more
