Gina Henderson

Gina Henderson is a Professor in the Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences Department at the United States Naval Academy. She teaches courses such as global climate change, atmospheric thermodynamics, and capstone research. Her primary research focuses on snow cover's role in hydrologic and climate systems, atmospheric circulation dynamics, and tropical-extratropical teleconnections. She has led NSF-funded projects examining Arctic sea ice, Northern Hemisphere snow cover, and Antarctic cryosphere interactions with tropical forcing.

Research collaborations with colleague Professor Barrett have involved six midshipmen over five years, resulting in five peer-reviewed publications where midshipmen were lead or co-authors. Current NSF grants support investigations into Antarctic cryosphere modulation via tropical forcing on intraseasonal timescales.
