Thomas T. Veblen of the听Geography Department and听David Korevaar of the听College of Music听have been selected as recipients of the 2016 Distinguished Research Lectureship, which is among the highest honors bestowed by the baby直播app upon a baby直播app member at CU Boulder.

Each year, the Research & Innovation Office (RIO), formerly the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, requests nominations from baby直播app for the Distinguished Research Lectureship, and a baby直播app review panel recommends one baby直播app member as a recipient. Two baby直播app members were selected this year.

David Korevaar
Korevaar is the Helen and Peter Weil professor of piano in the College of Music at CU Boulder. He听began his piano studies at age six in San Diego with Sherman Storr, and at age 13 he became a student of the great American virtuoso Earl Wild. By age 20 he had earned his Bachelor鈥檚 and Master鈥檚 degrees from The Juilliard School, where he continued his studies with Earl Wild and studied composition with David Diamond. He completed his Doctor of Musical Arts from the Juilliard School with Abbey Simon. Another important mentor and teacher was the French pianist Paul Doguereau, who had been a student of Egon Petri听and had studied the music of Faur茅 and Debussy with Roger-Ducasse (a pupil of Faur茅鈥檚)听and the music of Ravel with the composer.

In May 2000 he received the Richard French award from The Juilliard School, honoring his doctoral document on Ravel鈥檚 Miroirs. Other honors include top prizes from the University of Maryland William Kapell International Piano Competition (1988) and the Peabody-Mason Music Foundation (1985), as well as a special prize for his performance of French music from the Robert Casadesus Competition (1989).

Prior to joining the baby直播app of the University of baby直播app in 2000, Korevaar taught for many years at the Westport School of Music in Connecticut, where he was an artist-teacher. He currently lives in Boulder, baby直播app, and Dallas, Texas, with his family.听

Thomas T. Veblen
Veblen is a College of Arts & Sciences professor of distinction in the Geography Department at CU听Boulder, where he has graduated 30 PhDs since joining in 1981.听

From 1975 to 1979, he was on the baby直播app of the Forestry School of Universidad Austral de Chile, and from 1979 to 1981 he was a research fellow at the Forest Research Institute in New Zealand. His research focuses on disturbance ecology in the context of climate change and human impacts on temperate forest ecosystems in North America and South America. Since 1975, he has conducted field-based research on the dynamics of Patagonian-Andean forests in Chile and Argentina and comparative studies of similar forests in New Zealand.听

In the U.S. Rocky Mountains his research uses tree-ring reconstructions to examine the long-term history of wildfire and bark beetle outbreaks in the context of changing climate. He was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (1985), elected an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand (1991)听and named a Fellow of the American Association for Advancement of Science (2008). He has long been engaged in extensive public outreach efforts to promote science-based decision making in forest-management policy and adaptation to climate change.
