Beverley C. Wemple

Beverley C. Wemple is a Professor of Geography and Environmental Sciences at the University of Vermont's College of Arts and Sciences, with joint affiliations to the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources. She serves as Faculty Director of the university's Water Resources Institute. Her academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Forest Ecology from Oregon State University (1998), an M.S. in Physical Geography from Oregon State University (1994), and a B.A. in Economics and German from the University of Richmond (1986).

Dr. Wemple's research examines hydrologic, geomorphic, and biogeochemical dynamics in mountainous landscapes, with particular focus on:

• Watershed and community resilience to environmental change
• Contributions of natural infrastructure (forests, wetlands, floodplains) to system stability
• Spatial modeling of human-environment interactions
• Impacts of climate and land use on water resources

She leads a research group that combines field studies with simulation modeling to generate actionable science for conservation and policy communities.

Awards and Honors:

• University Scholar

She advises graduate and undergraduate researchers in watershed science and spatial analysis, though specific grant details aren't provided in available materials. Her office hours are held Tuesdays 4:30-5:30pm and Wednesdays 9-10am in Old Mill 213.
