Glider transforms knowledge of Red Sea in 1000 dives

Summary

A glider deployed by KAUST's Coastal and Marine Resources Core Lab (CMOR) completed 1,000 dives in the Red Sea. The dives, completed by November 22, 2015, are part of ongoing marine research at KAUST. The glider is maintained by Lloyd Smith, supervisor of marine electronics at CMOR. Why it matters: This demonstrates KAUST's commitment to environmental monitoring and research in the Red Sea, contributing to a better understanding of the region's unique marine ecosystem.
