Henry Penn

Dr. Henry Penn has a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Civil Engineering from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Loughborough University in England. His research is focused on the food-energy-water (FEW) security and infrastructure in rural and remote northern and Indigenous communities, and he has worked in partnership with communities and organizations in Bristol Bay and Northwest Alaska and more recently in Yukon and Alberta. Dr. Penn is currently implementing a program to bring sustainable energy and agricultural infrastructure and technologies to the Kluane Lake Research Station. The aim is to develop a demonstration platform for providing an experimental facility that can be used as a test bed prior to major investment in new technologies, while at the same time modernizing the research station facilities and lowering our environmental footprint.
