How to Train Your Glider: Adventures with Underwater Robots

Ocean Week Victoria


June 2nd 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Victoria, British Columbia

“Training” ocean gliders to navigate thousands of kilometres of swirling currents takes skill, creativity, and tenacity. Join us for a behind‑the‑scenes look at how scientists program, pilot, and troubleshoot these remarkable robots as they track marine heatwaves, map eddies, and monitor the health of BC’s coastal waters. A fun, interactive introduction to the future of ocean observing.

Learn about this and much more during a 45 minute presentation at the Royal BC Museum on Tuesday 2 June at 6:30 p.m. Free admission.

Presented by Tetjana Ross, Institute of Ocean Sciences
