Biography

Professor Colburn is a leading scholar of environmental and natural resources law. He has published over thirty articles and book chapters focusing on the law of environmental assessment, habitat and at-risk species protections, and the jurisdiction of water disputes. His published work routinely considers the legal system’s use (and misuse) of science and scientific information.
