Mgbalị Atekwana n'iche dị iche iche na geosciences na iwulite ikike na mba ndị ka na-emepe emepe ka ejirila onyinye nkuzi pụtara ìhè sitere na Association for Women Geoscientists na Society of Exploration Geophysicists .   Ọ na-eje ozi na ọtụtụ kọmitii ndị ọkachamara gụnyere American Geophysical Union (AGU) Kọmitii Honors and Awards  na Kọmitii Mba US maka International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS). 

## Mmasị nyocha
Atekwana bụ onye ọsụ ụzọ na ngalaba multi ịdọ aka ná ntị nke Biogeophysics, nke na-eji geophysics aghọta mmekọrịta biochemical na-eme na saịtị ndị mmeru.  Nnyocha biogeophysical nke Atekwana na-enyocha mmetụta nke usoro mgbasa ozi microbial na mgbasa ozi ala.   Ụfọdụ n'ime nyocha ya na-enyocha uru na mkpebi nke nha n'ime ọnọdụ resistivity jikọtara yana nha geoelectrical elu iji mapụta nkesa mmetọ n'ime ala.  Atekwana na-ejikwa geoelectric na geophysical mbinye aka nke saịtị emetọọ iji nyochaa mmekọrịta dị n'etiti usoro ndu na mmetụta ha na njirimara eletriki nke ihe ala.  

Atekwana na-ejikwa geophysics nyocha usoro tectonic.  Ọmụmụ ihe ọmụmụ geophysical ya na-ekpughe ihe jikọrọ ọnụ na akwa uwe elu na-eme ka usoro geodynamic jikọtara ya na mgbawa nke kọntinent.  Dịka ọmụmaatụ, Atekwana na ndị ọrụ ibe gosipụtara ka eserese geophysis nke arụrụ arụ ụlọ dị adị na Malawi na Botswana siri metụta nhazi mpaghara n'oge mgbawa mbụ.  Nnyocha ọzọ sitere na mgbawa Okavango nke dị na ugwu ọdịda anyanwụ Botswana na-enye ihe akaebe na ihe owuwu okpuru ulo dị adịbu na-achịkwa rifting. 

Atekwana sokwa na oru ngo iji smartphones nwere sensọ geophysical nwere ike inye ụzọ dị ọnụ ala maka inweta data geophysical, na-akọwapụta ngwa na ụlọ akwụkwọ agụmakwụkwọ nwere oke ohere ịnweta akụrụngwa geophysical dị oke ọnụ.
