About

Barbara Robson leads AIMS’ Tropical Marine Water Quality and Impacts team and is a biogeochemical modeller. Her research focuses on modelling of water quality in coastal ecosystems to support policy and regulation decisions. She also led recent work understanding the role of nitrogen fixation in the Great Barrier Reef and remote sensing of the benthic light environment, is currently contributing to the development of decision support tools to inform interventions to protect the Great Barrier Reef, and has an interest in improving best practice in environmental modelling and model evaluation.
