Natalie M. Kehrwald, PhD
Dr. Natalie Kehrwald is a Research Geologist who investigates interactions between drought, fire, and human activity across multiple regions and timescales with the aim of providing information to land managers, communities, and the public. Understanding the conditions leading to past fires and droughts is important for planning for future scenarios in both wildland and urban settings.
Dr. Kehrwald studies interactions between water availability, fire and humans using biomarkers in ice cores and sedimentary records. Droughts and vegetation changes can affect fuel availability, and changing atmospheric conditions can alter the number of natural fire ignitions through lightning strikes. Humans are particularly adept at setting fires both for survival (cooking, warmth, and land clearance) but also often accidentally ignite wildfires. Records such as lake cores and ice cores provide detailed records of fire activity, variations in precipitation, changing vegetation and human activity through time, and help place recent droughts and wildfires into the context of a longer timescale.

Anthropogenic impact in the Mayan Lowlands of Petén, Guatemala, during the last 5500 years Anthropogenic impact in the Mayan Lowlands of Petén, Guatemala, during the last 5500 years
Trace and rare earth elements from a Lake Peten Itzá (Guatemala) sediment core depict the geochemical dynamics affecting the lake from ~5500 y BP to the present. This timing encompasses the Preclassic (4000 to 1700 y BP) and Classic Periods (1700-1000 y BP) when thriving Maya societies extensively cleared land for agriculture. We demonstrate that this land use occurred during times of...

Prospects for reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions from organic compounds in polar snow and ice Prospects for reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions from organic compounds in polar snow and ice
Polar ice cores provide information about past climate and environmental changes over periods ranging from a few years up to 800,000 years. The majority of chemical studies have focused on determining inorganic components, such as major ions and trace elements as well as on their isotopic fingerprint. In this paper, we review the different classes of organic compounds that might yield

One thousand years of fires: Integrating proxy and model data One thousand years of fires: Integrating proxy and model data
The current fires raging across Indonesia are emitting more carbon than the annual fossil fuel emissions of Germany or Japan, and the fires are still consuming vast tracts of rainforest and peatlands. The National Interagency Fire Center (www.nifc.gov) notes that 2015 is one worst fire years on record in the U.S., where more than 9 million acres burned -- equivalent to the combined size...

Fire in the Earth System: Bridging data and modeling research Fire in the Earth System: Bridging data and modeling research
Significant changes in wildfire occurrence, extent, and severity in areas such as western North America and Indonesia in 2015 have made the issue of fire increasingly salient in both the public and scientific spheres. Biomass combustion rapidly transforms land cover, smoke pours into the atmosphere, radiative heat from fires initiates dramatic pyrocumulus clouds, and the repeated...
