Welcome to the inaugural edition of Making Waves, the Liquid Robotics newsletter. Join us every month as we share exciting news and information about how customers around the world are using Wave Gliders® to solve some of the most challenging ocean problems. We'll also have updates on the PacX Challenge—our world record journey across the Pacific—as well as the latest developments in Met/Ocean, Oil & Gas, Defense, marine mammal tracking and more.
If this is the first time you're hearing about Liquid Robotics or our wave motion propelled marine robot, the Wave Glider, I invite you to get in touch to learn more. Let's begin a conversation on how our revolutionary technology can help you and your organization address your most challenging ocean data requirements. Think of it this way: If your business involves the ocean, you need to involve Liquid Robotics.

Wave Gliders Arrive in Hawaii to Break World Record
We are proud to announce that the PacX Challenge Wave Gliders have broken the world record for distance by an unmanned wave powered vehicle. Arriving in Hawai’i on the first leg of their 9000 nautical mile journey across the Pacific, they have traveled over 3200 nautical miles breaking the previous world distance record of 2500 nautical miles.
Launched on November 17, 2011 from San Francisco Bay, the Wave Gliders survived 8-meter (26 foot) waves in a gale force storm, defied turbulent mid-ocean currents, and fought off a shark attack, all the while transmitting real-time ocean data and staying on course to their first destination: the Big Island of Hawai’i. After a short check-up, the PacX Wave Gliders will embark on their final journeys to Australia and Japan
Get involved by submitting an abstrct to win the PacX Challenge Prize: six months of free Wave Glider time, and a $50,000 grant provided by BP to the person(s) whose research using the PacX data best represents the spirit of exploration and discovery embodied by this journey. Details can be found here.

Scripps Institution of Oceanography
California scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography are developing a cutting-edge, deep-ocean seismic system that will give them more information about earthquakes and tsunamis across the globe. The team from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography along with Liquid Robotics scientists will develop a potentially transformative system for deploying seafloor seismometers, which will gather vital data – in real-time – for applications ranging from earthquake monitoring, earth structure and dynamics modeling, to tsunami warning systems.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Marine Mammals
The energy and defense industries have provided leadership in the protection of marine mammals and the provision of marine life observation data through marine mammal observers, logs, reports, and hydrophones. To further these efforts, Liquid Robotics and Seiche Measurements Limited have teamed to provide a cost-effective solution for the persistent collection and 3D mapping of marine acoustics, marine mammal populations and habitat utilization profiles over time and wide geographic areas.
