Robyn’s PhD focuses on in-situ experiments to establish the role that UK kelp forests play in reducing wave energy. She will also be trialling techniques for kelp restoration on exposed coastlines, where the role of these habitats in wave attenuation (slowing down waves) is most required.
Robyn has a BSc in Marine Biology from the University of Hull and a MRes from Newcastle University. She is excited to continue her studies at Newcastle University, and is looking forward to learning new skills, getting involved in the wider Stronger Shores project, and interacting with the wide range of stakeholders involved.
