Our Mission & Vision
This site is dedicated to the promotion of the glider technology and its applications.
We intend to favor oceanographic experiments and the operational monitoring of the oceans with gliders through scientific and international collaboration. We provide news, support, information about glider projects and glider data management, as well as resources related to gliders. If you use the glider technology (or plan to use it), please first register to have full access to this website and contact us if you want to contribute to our international coordination efforts.

What are gliders?
Gliders are small autonomous underwater vehicles which were developed to carry out in-situ observations of the upper 1km of the ocean filling the gaps left by the existing observing systems.
Gliders can carry out high-resolution measurements of physical and biogeochemical parameters. They can also be equipped with acoustic modems, echosounders, and hydrophones for underwater positioning, underwater data telemetry, estimating stocks of plankton, track fish or listening to sea mammals.
