Ben Henley

Dr. Ben Henley is a Research Fellow at the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Life Sciences (SEALS), University of Wollongong, Australia. His work focuses on climate dynamics and environmental impacts, particularly in drought processes, ENSO variability, and climate change effects on polar and marine systems.

• Climate Teleconnections
• Hydrological Extremes
• Antarctic Ice Sheet Dynamics
• ENSO Diversity
• Ocean Heatwaves
• Water Scarcity

His recent publications (2022-2025) span topics from meteorological drought mechanisms to technological drought in Bangladesh, with significant contributions to Antarctic climate modeling and Great Barrier Reef heatwave analysis. Collaborations include leading Antarctic research teams and Great Barrier Reef paleoecology studies.

Current funding includes ARC Special Research Initiative grants for Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (2021-2030) and Past Climate Impacts on Great Barrier Reef (2020-2025).
