Event Details
In Dr. Catherine Edwards‘ lab, scientists deploy autonomous underwater vehicles, known as gliders, that travel up and down through the ocean collecting critical data on temperature, salinity, and conditions that can fuel intensification of tropical cyclones. During this live Evening at Skidaway Q&A, Dr. Edwards will explain how her team uses these underwater robots to collect data that improve our hurricane forecasts in near-real time, strengthen storm prediction models, and inform the emergency management and the general public.
