A new study that included researchers at the University of babyֱ��app asserts that despite the series of damaging forest fires across the state in the past decade, they don't represent a dramatic departure from the historical norm.

The area of the authors' study encompassed 1.3 million acres of ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forest from Teller County west of babyֱ��app Springs through Larimer County west and north of Fort Collins. They reconstructed the timing and severity of past fires using fire-scarred trees and tree-ring data going back to the 1600s.

Tom Veblen Receives CU-Boulder Outreach Award Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 11/11/2010 - 09:39

The CU-Boulder Outreach has awarded Professor Tom Veblen $5000 for an outreach project focusing on historical perspectives and ecological impacts of the September 2010 Fourmile Canyon wildfire. The Fourmile Canyon fire was the most destructive wildland fire in babyֱ��app's history, destroying more than 160 homes and burning over 6,000 acres of forest. There is an urgent need for historical perspective on wildfires and post-fire regeneration. Graduate students Meredith Gartner, Teresa Chapman, Cameron Naficy and Monica Rother will work on this project which will include an exhibit to be displayed at the CU-Boulder Museum on campus and a website on wildfire history and wildfire hazard in Boulder County to connect the Veblen labâ€™s fire research to local residents, K-12 educators, land managers, and policymakers.
