Dr. Stephen Sebestyen
DELS Speaker, Research Hydrologist, USDA Forest Service

Stephen Sebestyen is a research hydrologist with the Northern Research Station of the USDA Forest Service in Grand Rapids, MN. He studies how water, nutrients, and pollutant solutes flow through the landscape and affect streams, lakes, or wetlands. Stephen devotes portions of his time to research at the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) and national-scale syntheses of data from multiple catchment studies. He is an investigator in the SPRUCE Experiment (Spruce and Peatland Response Under Climatic and Environmental change), a large-scale experiment in which above- and below-ground temperatures are being manipulated in peatland at the MEF. Stephen also contributes to studies of lakes, streams, wetlands, and watersheds elsewhere in Minnesota, around the USA, and abroad. He has also been serving as co-Editor in Chief of the international journal Biogeochemistry since January 2024.
