Dr. Meyer is a faculty
member in the Natural and Applied Sciences unit at the University
of Wisconsin-Green Bay (UWGB). Four years ago, he brought his
knowledge of meteorology and climatology to UWGB from the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), where he was an Associate
Professor in the School of Natural Resources. He earned his Ph.D.
in agricultural climatology from UNL in 1990.
Dr. Meyer’s duties at
UWGB include teaching the introductory meteorology course entitled
"Ocean of Air: Weather and Climate" and the upper-level courses
"Regional Climatology" and "Global Climate Change." His research
has focused on evaluating the accuracy of climate outlooks for
Wisconsin, with the goal of applying those outlooks to economic
sectors in Wisconsin that are particularly sensitive to climate.
