SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — University of Notre Dame researchers hope a $1 million environmental research center that will be built at a northern Indiana park will help answer questions about how to minimize the impacts of humans on the environment.

The university is leasing 28 acres at St. Patrick’s Park in St. Joseph County for a field-based environmental research facility where scientists can study an ecosystem that includes an interconnected pond, stream and wetland.
