معرفی
Kelly Filer Robinson is an Associate Professor and Assistant Unit Leader at the University of Georgia's Georgia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit. She holds a Ph.D. in Forest Resources (Fisheries Science) from the University of Georgia (2011), an M.S. in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston (2006), and a B.A. in Biology and Spanish from the University of Virginia (2001).
Her research focuses on fisheries and aquatic sciences, emphasizing invasive species management, structured decision-making frameworks, and ecological modeling. Key areas include controlling invasive Asian carps and sea lampreys in the Great Lakes, analyzing round goby invasions' impacts on native species, and addressing climate change challenges in aquatic ecosystems. She also explores interdisciplinary approaches to integrate social and ecological sciences in natural resource management.
Her work bridges theoretical and applied ecology, with contributions to decision support tools for barrier removal prioritization, watershed restoration, and collaborative management strategies. She leads research on the adaptive capacity of benthic ecosystems and has published extensively on population dynamics and species interactions. Her lab affiliations include the Georgia Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Unit, a collaborative hub for fisheries and wildlife research.
