Braddock Peak Named for Prof

Fred Barnard (PhDGeol’68) stands in front of Braddock Peak, which is 11,960 feet tall and was named in honor of professor emeritus William Braddock.
After spending his life making maps of Colorado’s Front Range, professor emeritus William Braddock now appears in them.
Braddock Peak, north of Rocky Mountain National Park, honors the geology professor who taught at CU from 1958-94 and died in 2003. Named in September, the peak stands in the area covered by the popularĚýGeologic Map of Rocky Mountain National ParkĚýthat Braddock co-authored with former student and current USGS scientistĚýJim ColeĚý(PhDGeol’77) in 1990.
“He, along with his students, mapped most of the Front Range as we know it,” USGS research geologistĚýNeil FishmanĚý(Geol’78, MS’81) says. “His contribution is significant.”
