Meredith Eiden

I graduated from the University of Montana with a B.S. in Environmental Science and Sustainability with a concentration in Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration in 2023. I made my way to FLBS in 2024, where I served two terms as a Big Sky Watershed Corp member with the Flathead Monitoring Program. At the beginning of 2026, I started my role as a Research Assistant with the Flathead Monitoring Program, where I can be found collecting water samples from tributaries around Flathead Lake, measuring zooplankton, and processing precipitation samples. I am looking forward to the new research and monitoring opportunities this program may take on in the future!

I am originally from Minnesota, where I grew up spending my time outside recreating on the many lakes surrounding me. Today, I enjoy paddleboarding and swimming in Flathead, hiking, traveling, and enjoying live music with friends and family!
