Michael David Sutherland
Adjunct Professor

Michael Sutherland holds an M.Sc.E. and Ph.D. in Geomatics Engineering from the University of New Brunswick, Canada specializing in land information management and GIS. He is currently a lecturer, and the Programme Coordinator of the B.Sc. in Land Management Programme, in the Department of Geomatics Engineering and Land Management, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.

He previously held post-doctoral positions at the University of Ottawa and Dalhousie University, Canada where he did GIS research in relation to multi-criteria decision analysis supporting socioeconomic and environmental phenomena. He is a member of the Canadian Institute of Geomatics and the Institute of Surveyors of Trinidad and Tobago, and is an elected member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. He is also an Associate of the Canadian Fisheries, Oceans, and Aquaculture Management (C-FOAM) research group, Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, Canada. In 2011 Michael was appointed as an Honourary Fellow, Sir Arthur Lewis Institute of Social and Economic Studies, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago. In 2012 he was appointed as an adjunct professor in the Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering, University of New Brunswick. Michael is currently Chair (2011-2014) of Commission 4 (Hydrography), International Federation of Surveyors.
