Michael F Meyer, PhD

Michael Meyer works in the Oregon Water Science Center's Ecology Team to develop novel datasets and interpretive pieces that help the aquatic sciences fully take advantage of the wealth of publicly available environmental data. In particular, Michael uses his training in limnology and aquatic ecology to help expand remote sensing of water quality studies beyond individual constituents and into a whole-ecosystem space. Michael’s main research themes include: (1) understanding shifts in lake trophic state at continental and decadal scales, (2) creating dynamic datasets that allow for immediate access to remotely sensed water quality data, (3) data harmonization of in situ collection with remote sensing imagery. Michael also serves as an Associate Editor for Limnology & Oceanography – Bulletin and is a founding member of the Community for Data Science and Open Science in the Aquatic Sciences (DSOS).
