Meghan joined us at the beginning of the year right after finishing her master's degree at the University of Waterloo. Her studies focused on nutrient contamination in the Lake Erie basin.

Meghan will be contributing to the continued development of DataStream by working with data contributors and users across the Great Lakes region and beyond.
