Dr. Robinson's research interests as a coastal biological oceanographer are broadly aimed at the effects of climate-driven processes on marine zooplankton production and distribution, with an emphasis on gelatinous plankton predators (i.e., jellyfish). She is particularly interested in how climate forcing alters trophic interactions and energy transfer between marine zooplankton groups, planktivorous fish, and their predators. To address questions related to this topic, she uses a combination of experimental lab work, field studies, and modeling (including spatial analysis and food web modeling).
