Scholar-generated biography
Jordan Pitt is an associate dean of Indigenous Strategy and Services at the University of Sydney, with expertise in computational fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, and computational modelling. Their research focuses on the interaction between ocean waves and ice shelves, particularly in polar environments. Pitt's work includes the development of numerical methods for solving the Serre equations, which are used to model wave propagation through sea ice and its impact on ice shelf flexure. They have also investigated wave overwash into the marginal ice zone and the role of dispersion in wave shoaling. Their research contributes to understanding the dynamics of ice shelf stability and ocean wave interactions in polar regions.
