Darrell G. Schulze studies soil science, focusing on the mineral makeup of soils (such as clay and iron oxide components), how soil properties vary across landscapes, and methods for mapping and predicting soil characteristics using spatial data and digital tools. Much of the recent work involves creating detailed soil, crop suitability, and land quality maps, including a large project mapping soils in the Busia region of Kenya. The work also touches on environmental applications like tracking trace elements (selenium, mercury) in soils and using technology to make soil survey information more accessible.
