Polar Gliders is a research group at the University of Gothenburg led by Sebastiaan Swart. We want to understand the ocean's role in regulating global climate and how this may adjust in a warming world. Our major research focus is on the dynamics of the upper ocean, as it acts as the interface between heat and carbon exchanges between the atmosphere and the deep ocean. We are aiming to achieve valuable new observations in the Southern Ocean and in particular the sea-ice covered domains.

The Polar Gliders collection is a community of data and research that has been done within the Polar Glider research group at the University of Gothenburg.
