Dr. Veblen is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Geography at CU Boulder. His main research interests are in forest ecology and vegetation dynamics in relation to natural and anthropogenic disturbances, especially as related to climate variability. He uses tree rings to date past disturbance events such as fire and insect outbreaks. For more than 25 years he has been investigating how disturbances such as fire, blow down and bark beetle outbreaks interact in the forested landscapes of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
