Leanne Stepchinski

I am a hydrologist and currently an ORISE Postdoctoral Researcher with USACE ERDC Environmental Laboratory’s WRISES group. With this group I perform research related to stream assessments from hydrological and ecological perspectives.

I recently completed my Ph.D. in Geology with a focus in Ecohydrology at the University of South Florida. My research focuses on investigating the presence, nature, and influence of hydrological connectivity between headwater wetlands and the surrounding hydrological landscapes, including downgradient wetlands, streams, and other waters.
