Semme Dijkstra received a Ph.D. in Ocean Mapping from the University of New Brunswick. He is a certified (Cat A) hydrographer from the Netherlands who has several years of hydrographic experience with both the Dutch Navy and industry.
Since 1996 he has worked at the Alfred Wegner Institute where he has been in charge of their multibeam sonar processing. He is an experienced CARIS user. His thesis work has involved artifact removal from multibeam sonar data and development of an echo-sounder processing and sediment classification system.
