Education edit

Sutherland completed his BA with honours from the University of Cambridge in 1989. His PhD at the University of Otago in 1995 was on the development of the Alpine Fault.[1]

Career and impact edit

Sutherland's research has included the deep ocean drilling of the Zealandian continent[4] and ancient climate change.[5] He has identified and named the ancient Moa tectonic plate.[6]

He is a co-leader of the Deep Fault Drilling Project (DFDP) of the Alpine Fault. As a result of this project, exceptionally high heat flow was discovered on the West Coast.[7][8] Sutherland was the lead author reporting this in Nature.[9]

Sutherland is often used by the national and international media as an expert on seismic surveys,[10] earthquakes[11] and geology in general.[12] His involvement of the promotion of Zealandia to a continent gained a particularly high amount of media attention.[13][14]
