Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSeth Younger is a physical scientist with a decade of experience producing hydrologic knowledge to inform water resource management, now working at the U.S. Geological Survey. He specializes in watershed hydrology, long-term field campaigns, isotopic and cryogenic water extraction, and modeling using Python, R, SQL, Google Earth Engine, and SWAT to quantify how forest restoration and climate affect streamflow and wetland health. His work combines hands-on instrumentation and large datasets—over a thousand plant and soil isotope extractions and extensive streamflow monitoring—with grant writing and leading manuscript development. Notably, his longleaf pine research revealed higher streamflow and reduced low-flow extremes in restored southeastern watersheds, and he has mentored students while contributing to multi-paper projects and a successful $600k grant.
