Herbert Edgar Wright Jr. was an American Quaternary scientist. He contributed to the understanding of landscape history and environmental changes over the past 100,000 years in many parts of the world. He studied arid-region geomorphology and landscape evolution,as well as glacial geology and climate history. His study of these topics led him to the study of vegetation development and environmental history and allowed him to define the timing and mechanisms of climate-driven vegetational shifts in North America during the last 18,000 years and to recognize the role of natural fire in the dynamics of northern coniferous forests. He applied these insights to wilderness conservation and landscape management. He covered many other aspects of paleoecology including lake development and paleolimnology,and the history and development of the vast patterned peatlands of Minnesota and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. Although his work was concentrated in Minnesota,he was also involved in a major synthesis of global paleoclimatology. Beyond Minnesota and the Great Lakes region,Wright studied a wide range of research questions elsewhere in North America,and in the Near East,Europe,Asia,Latin America,and Antarctica. He advised over 75 graduate students and mentored many more students,visitors,and colleagues worldwide.
