Peter Sutherland Laboratoire de Physique des Oceans Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer Web: psutherland.ca Research Interests Surface wave and upper ocean - lower atmosphere dynamics, especially related to wave breaking and turbulence. Sub-mesoscale processes. Connecting small-scale physics like wave breaking and Langmuir circulations to larger scale flows. Ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions; air-sea-ice fluxes, surface wave propagation through sea ice, ice pack evolution and break-up. Sensor development; creating instruments using emerging technologies to gain new insights about the ocean and atmosphere. Scientific imaging and computer vision; automated scene reconstruction, stereo imagery, PIV, optical flow, feature identification and tracking. Deep ocean exploration; using new tools and techniques, like autonomous craft and computer vision, to study the deep ocean.

Rudnick, S. Sarkar, J. A. Smith 2007 M.S. Oceanography, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD 2004 B.Sc. Physics, Minor Mathematics, University of Victoria Research Experience 2015 – present: Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer, Research Scientist 2014 – 2015: Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, Postdoctoral Scholar Using satellite and airborne remote sensing, and in situ measurements, to investigate marginal ice zone physical processes. Studying changes in Arctic sea ice coverage and morphology in response to wind and wave forcing. Applying advanced image processing techniques to visible and microwave radiometer, and synthetic aperture radar, satellite remote sensing products. 2013 – 2014: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Postdoctoral Scholar Investigated near-surface turbulent kinetic energy dissipation by wave breaking, using the video and acoustic techniques that I developed as part of my Ph.D. research. 2006 – 2013: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Graduate student researcher Ph.D. research; studied surface wave processes and turbulence in the upper ocean using a variety of video-based and acoustic techniques. This included: Developing and deploying infrared and visible stereo video systems to reconstruct the 3D structure and velocity of the ocean surface. Devising a technique to use the vorticity of the measured sea surface velocity field to extract turbulent kinetic energy dissipation. Creating a texture-based algorithm to detect and track whitecaps on the sea surface in infrared imagery in order to measure wave breaking statistics. 1/3 Peter Sutherland Curriculum Vitae Designing, building and deploying an array of pulse coherent acoustic Doppler instruments for measuring sub-surface turbulence.
