Rebecca Robinson , URI Graduate School of Oceanography.
Dr. Rebecca Robinson, Assistant Professor at URI's Graduate School of
Oceanography, discusses past climate change and the potential role for
ocean biology in regulating atmospheric CO2. Her research focuses on
the cycling of biologically important elements and their relationship
with climate change on various timescales. She uses the stable isotopes
of nitrogen in geological samples and modern waters to monitor the variation
in the marine nitrogen cycle. Of particular interest is the role of the
nitrogen cycle in regulating biological productivity and atmospheric
CO2 concentrations both in the ancient and in the modern ocean. Robinson
received an AB in Geology from Bryn Mawr College and a MS in Earth Sciences
from the University of Southern California. Her PhD is in Marine Geology
and Geochemistry from the University of Michigan.
