Natasha Sekhon, Occidental College – Unlocking Ancient Water Signals Locked in the Geologic Record
Natasha Sekhon, assistant professor in the department of geology, digs in for a look. Dr. Natasha Sekhon has her training as a low-temperature geochemist and paleoclimatologist. She uses the geochemical signals preserved in speleothems (secondary cave deposits) and monitors modern cave systems to reconstruct periods of past climate change through the Quaternary and discern processes dictating modern cave systems. Dr. Sekhon’s research is multidisciplinary as she uses concepts from karst hydrology, speleothem sciences, climate dynamics and statistical modeling to investigate hydroclimate variability on seasonal to millennia time scales. She is interested in processes driving changes in global monsoon systems, El Nino Southern Oscillation, extreme hydroclimate conditions (floods and droughts) and periods of abrupt climate change. Dr. Sekhon earned her bachelor’s degree in Earth System Sciences from the University of California, Irvine. Dr. Sekhon received her doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin, following which she was a postdoctoral scholar at Brown University. She started as an Assistant Professor in Geology at Occidental College in January 2024.
