The present paper is devoted to the study of robust control problems of parabolic stochastic partial differential equations under model uncertainty. To be more precise, the robust control problem under investigation is expressed as a stochastic differential game in a real separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space. By resorting to the theory of mild solutions, we prove that the elliptic partial differential equation associated with the problem at hand, also known as the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equation, admits a unique solution, which is the value function of the game. Furthermore, we investigate the problem of existence of an optimal control pair that satisfies a saddle point property. Finally, as a demonstration of the proposed approach, we apply our results to the study of a certain robust control problem arising in the spatiotemporal management of natural resources.
