Title: The University of Washington Student Seaglider Center: The design and impact of a student-run lab
Summary: Established in 2022, the University of Washington’s Student Seaglider Center (SSC) is a student-run lab where students manage and use a fleet of Seagliders to conduct student-directed oceanographic research. Students service, test, and ballast Seagliders, plan dive missions, pilot Seagliders, and analyze data to address student-defined scientific objectives. Through this program, students have worked with professional mentors to conduct research both locally and globally: studying circulation patterns in Puget Sound, Washington State, USA and effects of tropical instability waves in the Equatorial Pacific. By participating in the SSC, students gain real-world experience conducting oceanographic research, develop essential skills and experience for future careers, and make meaningful contributions to the field of oceanography. We will share the outcomes of the design and implementation of this program to support both research and education.
