Van Meter Lab is Moving to Penn State University Department of Geography!
As of July 15, 2021, our lab will be relocating to Pennsylvania and making a new home within the Penn State Geography Department. We are very excited about the move...more details to come!

Benoit Dessirier has joined Van Meter Lab this spring! Benoit is a visiting postdoctoral fellow from Stockholm University working on model development to simulate long-term nutrient trajectories around the Baltic Sea. Benoit's work is part of the LEAP project, a collaboration involving researchers from UIC, the University of Waterloo in Canada, Stockholm University, University of Denmark, and the University of Coimbra in Portugal. The purpose of the project is to develop a unified framework incorporating agricultural legacies and time lags into adaptive management strategies to protect water resources under changing climate and land use.
