Research Interests: Julia's research involves an integrated study of mudstone consolidation, overpressure generation and evolution, and basin-scale fluid flow in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, offshore Texas and Louisiana. As part of the GeoFluids group at UT, she tries to understand fundamental processes such as how sediments consolidate and expel their pore fluids over time and how material properties (compressibility, permeability, anisotropy, etc.) evolve as consolidation evolves. To address these questions, Julia uses a suite of different data sets from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 308 which she participated in as an onboard sedimentologist, e.g. seismic and logging data, in situ pressure and temperature measurements, and grain size and XRD analyses. As part of the UT GeoFluids group, she is currently involved in geotechnical laboratory experiments such as uniaxial, constant-rate-of-strain consolidation (CRSC) experiments, flow-through permeability tests, and specific surface area measurements to analyze material properties and fabric of mudstones. |
