Über den Autor
Bruce R. Sutherland holds a [...] from the University of Waterloo, Ontario and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto where, under the supervision of W. R. Peltier, he ran numerical simulations of internal waves generated by shear instability. As a Research Associate working with P. F. Linden at the University of Cambridge, he helped develop the laboratory method known as the synthetic schlieren technique, which was applied to examine internal waves generated by turbulence. Now a Professor in the Departments of Physics and of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and an Adjunct Professor in Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, at the University of Alberta, he continues to develop theories and to run laboratory experiments and numerical simulations that examine the generation, propagation and breaking of internal gravity waves.
