Mr Connor Henderson

I'm an education focused associate lecturer working on improving the introductory climate science courses at UNSW in the Climate Change Research Centre. I'm really interested in trying to apply teaching theory to assessments to make them more effective for the students and instructors.

My background is as an oceanographer, making use of numerical modeling and data analysis to explore fundamental ocean processes and improve our understanding of regional ocean variability and its role in the broader climate system.

My research focuses on understanding the dynamics of western boundary currents and eddies using numerical ocean models of varying complexities. My PhD centred around how variations in the East Australian Current influences the generation of turbulent energy in the Tasman Sea.
