Rockland Scientific Inc.

Rockland is thrilled to introduce our newest team member, Nicolai von Oppeln-Bronikowski, as our new Field Support Specialist! Nicolai will work closely with the rest of our Support team, providing field services, customer training, and enhancing Rockland's presence within the ocean glider research community. His expertise will empower scientists to fight climate change through the use of Rockland turbulence measurement solutions. Nicolai brings a unique blend of engineering and scientific expertise to the team. He holds an undergraduate degree in Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering and a Master of Science in Physical Oceanography. Over the past 5 years, he has overseen the ocean glider program at Memorial University (MUN) at St. John’s, NL., during which time he engaged in various research projects - including collaborating with some of you! We're excited to have him on board!

Last Friday, Team Rockland came together in Victoria, BC, for our annual New Year’s Party in the atrium of Zambri’s restaurant. What a night it was! We took the time to honour and celebrate the dedication of our incredible colleagues who have reached significant milestones: eight of our teammates have been with Rockland for more than five years, and six for more than 10 years.  We walked down memory lane listening to heartfelt speeches from those presenting and receiving the awards. The evening was filled with laughter, great food, and engaging conversation with our amazing team. It is moments like these that strengthen our bonds and make Rockland an exceptional place to work. Here's to more memorable moments, achievements, and growth together in 2024! #Rockland #NewYearCelebration #Work #Celebration #YearsofService
