Welcome!
My name is Nadia Sae-Lim.
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Natural Resources at the University of Missouri-Columbia. In January 2027, I will join the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as an assistant professor. My research focuses on past climate, water systems, and environmental change across timescales.
Climate change & variability | Organic and isotope geochemistry | Computational climate & lake
Past and present hydroclimate for climate and water resilience
I study how climate variability shapes water systems, ecosystems, and landscapes across timescales. My research integrates paleoclimate proxies, organic and isotope geochemistry, climate modeling, and lake water-quality modeling approaches to connect local environmental records with regional climate dynamics. I am particularly interested in tropical and monsoon regions, where rainfall, runoff, evaporation, and ecosystem responses are tightly linked. By combining natural archives, modern observations, and numerical models, my work aims to improve understanding of climate change and variability, water cycle, and ecosystem resilience in a warming world.
