We strive towards a future where knowledge and interest in our oceans ecosystems and history forge a sustainable interaction between man and the oceans.
Forskare från @goteborgsuni har placerat ut tre undervattensrobotar vid #Nordstream-läckorna. Dessa ska under tre månader bevaka vilken miljöpåverkan metangasutsläppet har på livet i havet. Robotarna mäter 24/7. #gliders#forskning#miljöbit.ly/3EHJBLF
Our existing Ocean Observatory in the Bornholm Basin also acts as a great complement to this fast response project, supporting scientists by gathering immediate and essential data!
Several @SeaExplorerUUV were recently deployed at the site of the #NordStream leak by GROOM II partners @goteborgsuni@VOTO_knowledge@alseamar. Coordination between industry, organisations & academia across borders opens up the door for rapid and effective response in the ocean.
Today is a big day!! 22.2.22 marks ONE YEAR of us continuously occupying our first two observatory sites with our @SeaExplorerUUV fleet. This is a huge achievement and we're so proud of our fantastic operations team and colleagues who have helped us along the way! #oceangliders
We have another opportunity to come and join us here in Gothenburg! We have a vacancy for an oceanographic technician; are you keen to join a dynamic team to work with marine robotics? Apply now! arbetsformedlingen.se/platsb…
Keeping our gliders in the water all the time is great but it raises a significant challenge: how do we keep our sensors calibrated and accurate without losing time in the water?
We now have a CTD and rosette to take calibration casts and samples during launch and recovery!
The 6th addition to our glider fleet just arrived to the workshop.
SEA061 - VASS carrying RBR Legato, Rinko DO, OCR504 and Wetlabs ECO-triplet, will join Ljung in the Baltic soon.
@SeaExplorerUUV
Welcome SEA063 - #Ljung, our new addition to the #Baltic fleet. Currently equipped with CTD, DO, ADCP and fluorometer. It will soon join with #Kaprifol outside Bornholm.

Busy week at Voto! After a short maintenance and battery charging Martorn and Kvanne are back in Skagerrak. Another team is on their way to Karlskrona to recharge Kaprifol. Well done team 1 and good luck team 2!! 😊🌸
@SeaExplorerUUV
From the workshop - gliders maintenance and data download in progress... The team is getting ready for next week deployments! 🤓 @SeaExplorerUUV@AK_Mazur@MarcusMelin4
This figure shows measurements collected by Kaprifol, our @SeaExplorerUUV underwater vehicle, over 3 weeks in the Bonrholm Basin. The brighter colors show increasing amounts of chlorophyll, a pigment found in microscopic algae called phytoplankton, in the shallow waters.
In the spring, the Baltic Sea goes from an environment with little phytoplankton to one teeming with life. Concentrations of phytoplankton can multiply by a factor of a hundred over a few short days.
By remaining present throughout the year and collecting high-definition measurements like these, we are able to see these incredibly important and rapid processes to better understand life in the Baltic Sea. This was reconstructed from 1.7 million measurements in just 3 weeks !
We've now turned around both observatories: @SeaExplorerUUV recovery, charging and re-deployment in Kattegat and Bornholm with a quick turnaround. It works! We are on the right track to long term measurements in the Baltic and Skagerrak using gliders!
Igår hade stiftelsens grundare Carl Douglas nöjet att besöka Go'kväll för att prata om boken "Ghost Ships: Östersjöns okända historia". Klicka på länken för att se intervjun i sin helhet på SVT Play.

... and now for the Bornholm Basin! This area is the western most basin of the #Baltic Sea without oxygen year round. Voice of the Ocean vehicles will now be monitoring the area as part of our second Observatory 🌊⚗️.
The team today turned replaced an @offshoresensing Sailbuoy that had been out since November with another with fresh batteries! These vehicles collect data at the surface, but can measure currents and the presence of fish and plankton below them.
and last but not least, another @SeaExplorerUUV was deployed. This vehicle is especially suited to measuring oxygen concentrations and growth of #phytoplankton, including recurring harmful blooms of #cyanobacteria. This is what a satisfied team looks like after a hard day's work!
