Professor Katharine Hendry, also known as Kate Hendry, holds the position of Bye-Fellow at Queens' College, University of Cambridge. She earned her undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 2004 and completed a doctorate in Antarctic biogeochemistry at the University of Oxford.
Professor Hendry serves as an Ocean Climate Scientist and chemical oceanographer in the Polar Oceans Team at the British Antarctic Survey. Her research focuses on marine nutrient cycling, biogeochemical-ocean-climate feedbacks, global biogeochemical cycling of silicon, and the use of non-traditional stable isotopes in environmental geosciences, with particular emphasis on the impacts of climate change in polar regions. She has authored over 90 papers in international journals and secured nearly £5 million in grant funding as Principal Investigator. Notable awards include the Geological Society of London Bigsby Medal in 2025, the European Association of Geochemistry Houtermans Medal in 2016, and a Challenger Society fellowship in 2012. She leads projects such as the NERC Pushing the Frontiers grant SiCLING and co-leads work packages in PRESCIENT, BIOPOLE, and POLOMINTS. Professor Hendry is Chair of Antarctic Science Ltd, vice chair of the UK Arctic and Antarctic Partnership, geosciences representative for the UK National Committee for Antarctic Research, and honorary secretary of the Challenger Society for Marine Science. She contributes to efforts on reducing the carbon footprint of oceanographic research and promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion in polar science.
