The open "SeaExplorer virtual workshop" organized for IOPAN will be held online on April 5, 2022 (Tuesday), split in the morning (09:30-12:00) and afternoon (14:00-17:00) sessions. The workshop is aimed in presenting the operational capabilities, available sensor payload, and mission planning and executing of the autonomous underwater vehicle SeaExplorer from ALSEAMAR.

SeaExplorer is a powerful, buoyancy-driven autonomous sensing platform designed to collect water column data profiles with very wide spatio-temporal coverage (thousands of km and weeks to months of endurance). More information can be found at https://www.alseamar-alcen.com/products/underwater-glider/seaexplorer. SeaExplorer is also the first European glider and therefore may offer a good and more affordable alternative to the Slocum and Seaglider platforms.

Workshop is organized by Ilona Goszczko from Observational Oceanography Lab, IOPAN and David Diaz from ALSEAMAR.

The detailed agenda and separate links for the morning and afternoon sessions are provided below.
