Ocean Microstructure Glider Workshop
Rockland strives to engage with the broader turbulence community by hosting regular workshop events, which in addition to covering some of our technical training material, allow us to expand on a variety of turbulence data-processing topics and provide exposure to other sampling techniques. In the past Rockland has hosted regular Ocean Microstructure Glider (OMG) workshops fostering collaboration with the ocean glider and AUV community. Other focused workshops are possible covering different observing platforms as well as focusing on current research topics. Workshop events are a great way to become familiar with our instruments and foster collaboration in the turbulence community. Please follow our events page and Social Media channels to learn of future events and offerings.
Details from OMG 2019:
OMG 2019 was hosted at Rockland Scientific headquarters. Training modules provide pertinent content for both scientists and technicians and are facilitated by instrument specialists from Rockland.
