Robyn Ball is a Graduate Research Assistant at DNR. She graduated in May of 2008 with a Masters in Mathematics, Environmental Modeling Option. As part of her studies she worked with the Division of Nearshore Research developing a model to predict water temperatures in the Laguna Madre. This model has been implemeted as a real-time online forecasting tool for the Division of Nearshore Research.
