About

Graham Hine is a pioneering researcher in ocean technology and autonomous marine systems, whose work has significantly shaped the development and operational deployment of the Wave Glider®, a revolutionary wave and solar energy-powered Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). As a key figure at Liquid Robotics, the company he helped bring to market following early development work beginning in 2005, Hine has contributed foundational research to the field of persistent ocean observation. His most influential work includes predictive modeling of Wave Glider speed from environmental measurements, which has enabled more precise mission planning and data collection in complex ocean conditions, garnering 29 citations. His research has also advanced understanding of how autonomous platforms can sustain critical observations during extreme weather events, as demonstrated through his involvement in the 2014 Gulf of Mexico field program studying tropical cyclone dynamics. Spanning over a decade of operational insight, Hine's contributions have helped transform autonomous surface vehicles from experimental concepts into indispensable tools for oceanographic research, environmental monitoring, and numerical weather prediction, cementing his legacy as a driving force in marine robotics and ocean science.
