James Cook University
Henry is a PhD candidate at James Cook University in Australia, where he works on quantifying the socio-economic resilience of the Great Barrier Reef region and other Pacific communities that are economically dependent on coral reefs. His research focuses on understanding, through a systems lens, how severe coral bleaching events impact commercial users of the reef (e.g. tourist operators and fishermen); and how different actors and institutions within the system respond to the ecological disturbance. The research will contribute to improving the ability of communities to deal with an increasingly volatile ecological environment.
Henry holds a joint European master degree (‘cum laude’) in System Dynamics from the University of Bergen (Norway), New University of Lisbon (Portugal) and the Radboud University (the Netherlands). System dynamics is grounded in the theory of nonlinear dynamics and feedback control developed in mathematics, physics, and engineering and is used as a modeling tool for examining complex systems characterized by feedback and delayed effects, characteristics that underlie most issues concerning sustainability. For his master thesis, Henry developed a simulation model to better understand how human development around coral reefs in the Philippines leads to rapid coral reef degradation. The simulation model is used to help policy makers evaluate the effectiveness of current coastal management programs. His work received an Honorable Mention by the Dana Meadows Award committee at the 2017 International System Dynamics Conference.
After his master degree, Henry worked in Oslo as an energy system modeler in DNV GL’s Energy Transition Program, the most objective and comprehensive forecast on the future of the global energy system and consequent carbon emissions. He is also the founder of DynaMundo, an international advisory company that has the goal to increase the application of systems thinking and modeling outside the academic world.

Alarming new research shows global warming of 1.5°C relative to pre-industrial levels will be catastrophic for almost all coral reefs – including those once thought of as refuges. Associate Profes
