Senior🎓
Top SchoolDominic Henry is a Senior Conservation Scientist and quantitative ecologist with a PhD in Zoology and over a decade of experience applying statistical and spatial models to threatened-species conservation. He blends advanced R and Python analytics, Google Earth Engine remote-sensing workflows, and ArcGIS tooling to translate big ecological data into actionable guidance for policymakers and land-use decision tools. Dominic has led multi-stakeholder projects, secured significant grant funding, and developed reusable R packages and web apps to scale species-distribution modelling across taxa. His work ranges from Bayesian multi-species occupancy models to operational habitat-restoration mapping, and he has a track record of embedding science directly into national conservation planning. Based in Halifax, he brings both field-honed ecological insight and production-grade data-science workflows to complex biodiversity problems.
