Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Julia I. Loshelder's research focuses on geotechnical engineering and soil science, with a particular emphasis on the properties and behavior of clays and soil moisture content. Her work investigates methods to improve the geotechnical properties of soils, such as remoulded quick clay, through the addition of recycled salt mixtures and biochar, aiming to enhance shear strength and other characteristics. Loshelder also studies the prediction and measurement of soil moisture content using spectral reflectance in the visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared light spectrum, as well as through the use of filter paper and cobalt chloride. Her publications include comparisons of compaction energy methods and analyses of sensitive clays from landslide sites using dielectric spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. She collaborates with Ana Laura Errigo Chanis at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
