SUMMARY:Tour of the NorGliders Lab in Bergen
DESCRIPTION:Norsk Geofysisk Forening avd. Bergen has the pleasure of inviti
 ng you to an excursion to NorGliders' lab in Laksevåg! The Norwegian Nati
 onal Facility for Ocean Gliders (NorGliders) is a research initiative at t
 he Geophysical Institute\, University of Bergen\, comprising of a team of 
 researchers and engineers who specialise in developing and deploying Ocean
  Gliders. These gliders are unmanned\, autonomous underwater vehicles (UUV
 ) that can move through the ocean relatively autonomously for up to 10 mon
 ths at a time\, collecting scientific data down to depths of 1000m. They c
 ollect high-resolution data across a variety of spatial and temporal scale
 s\, and sample key physical properties such as temperature\, salinity\, di
 ssolved oxygen and chlorophyll concentration. The data they collect provid
 es invaluable insights into oceanographic processes.\n\n[caption id="attac
 hment_1120" align="alignnone" width="900"] Deployment of a glider. (Courte
 sy of the NorGliders website).[/caption]\n\nWe will visit the lab for a to
 ur from the NorGliders team and hear how the gliders are an integrated par
 t of monitoring and science in the Nordic Seas. Pizza and soda will be ser
 ved in the lab and afterwards\, there will be a "walk-and-talk" to the nea
 rby pub "Lyst &amp\; Fryd" for those who want to join for a glass of beer 
 (or more soda).\nTo get to NorGliders' lab on Laksevågneset\, you may eit
 her walk (approx. 1 hr walk from GFI)\, use a bicycle\, or take the bus (l
 ines 6 or 20) direction westward to the stop "Laksevåg senter”.\nIf you
  intend to join the tour\, please email Vidar Lien (vidar.lien@hi.no) asap
  so that food can be ordered\, noting any allergies.
