Professor Robinson's research interests and contributions have encompassed dynamics of rotating and stratified fluids, boundary-layer flows, thermocline dynamics, the dynamics and modeling of ocean currents, and the influence of physical processes on biological dynamics in the ocean. He is recognized as one of the pioneers and leading experts in modern ocean prediction and has contributed significantly to the techniques for the assimilation of data into ocean-forecasting models. Professor Robinson has served on numerous national advisory committees, including the Naval Studies Board of the National Research Council. He chairs and has chaired many programs and working groups for international cooperative science, including those associated with ocean mesoscale dynamics, ocean prediction, and global ecosystem dynamics. He has authored and edited more than a hundred articles and books and is currently editor-in-chief of The Sea and Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans.
