Adrian Henry Wardle Robinson (12 June 1925 – 22 November 2018)[1] was a British geographer noted for his work on shallow water oceanography and on the history of marine surveying.
Changes in the Edinburgh Channel in the Thames Estuary between 1839 and 1862. Plans from Tizard (1890)[2] discussed by Robinson in his 1946 paper. The changes continued. The Edinburgh Channel became the Edinburgh Channels when a shoal, Shingles Patch, developed in the middle and divided it in two.[3]
Robinson became a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1945.[4] He then worked as a cartographer in the Hydrographic Office of the Admiralty. In 1946 he prepared a paper describing the changes in the channels and sandbanks of the Thames Estuary, work which foreshadowed his interests in shallow water oceanography and the history of hydrography.[3]
Robinson obtained an MSc at London University in 1952. He worked at the University of Leicester, as lecturer in Geography. from 1952. He received his PhD, also from London, in 1960, and became reader at Leicester in 1969.[5] He carried out considerable research into the factors affecting coasts and shallow waters, particularly in sandy bays and estuaries, and in harbour entrances. He was also occupied with the history of marine surveying and cartography of Britain, publishing several journal articles as well as his highly regarded book Marine Cartography in Britain, with many maps and diagrams by his wife, Gwyneth, herself a former cartographer.[6][7][8] During the 1970s, Robinson collaborated with Roy Millward, also of the University of Leicester, in a series of books on the Landscapes of Britain, as well as on The Shell Book of the British Coast (1983), again with maps prepared by Gwyneth Robinson .[9][10] He was an industrial consultant on coastal and seabed issues.[11]
