George Cutter, Ph.D.
George Cutter is a Research Oceanographer with the Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division (AERD). He has pursued and supported development of a wide array of remote sensing tools and methods to improve NOAA’s capabilities for ocean mapping, fisheries acoustics, and underwater imaging. His recent work supports the use of autonomous platforms to survey and monitor krill in waters off the Antarctic Peninsula. Currently, he uses wideband echosounders on submerged mooring arrays to measure krill biomass and transport. He is involved with NOAA efforts in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.
