Some Info During my PhD, I worked with large ocean datasets collected by underwater gliders (https://spraydata.ucsd.edu/). At WHOI, I am continuing to work with gliders in the Gulf Stream. I also work on dissolved oxygen observations collected autonomously with gliders (see https://boom.science/team/).
