Biography

David Goldblum is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography Tourism Studies at Brock University. He earned his B.A. in Geography from UCLA in 1988, followed by an M.A. and Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Colorado in 1990 and 1994, respectively. His research interests encompass biogeography and forest ecology, particularly focusing on understanding natural environments influenced by human disturbances such as climate change, logging, and invasive species. Goldblum has conducted significant work in fire ecology across various regions, including Colorado, Illinois, Alberta, and Australia, examining how trees in urban environments respond to recent climatic changes. His current research investigates which tree species are best suited for sustainable urban forests in the context of future climate change and environmental stresses. He is particularly interested in the role of tree rings in dendrochronology and dendroclimatology, suggesting a strong correlation between climatic variations and forest health.
