Application of photogrammetry to generate quantitative geobody data in ephemeral fluvial systems (2019)
Journal Article
Priddy, C., Pringle, J., Pettigrew, R., & Clarke, S. (2019). Application of photogrammetry to generate quantitative geobody data in ephemeral fluvial systems. Photogrammetric Record, https://doi.org/10.1111/phor.12299

Outcrop studies are often used as analogues to subsurface sedimentary reservoirs, with photogrammetry representing a useful technique to obtain quantitative geometrical data of sedimentary architectures. Digital photogrammetry techniques were used to... Read More about Application of photogrammetry to generate quantitative geobody data in ephemeral fluvial systems.

Testing Application of Geographical Information Systems, Forensic Geomorphology and Electrical Resistivity Tomography to Investigate Clandestine Grave Sites in Colombia, South America (2019)
Journal Article
Martin Molina, C., Wisniewski, K. D., Drake, J., Baena, A., Guatame, A., & Pringle, J. K. (2020). Testing Application of Geographical Information Systems, Forensic Geomorphology and Electrical Resistivity Tomography to Investigate Clandestine Grave Sites in Colombia, South America. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 65(1), 266-273. https://doi.org/10.1111/1556-4029.14168

Colombian forensic investigators required assistance locating clandestine burials of missing persons related to human right atrocities from 14 years ago. Geoscientific search methods were trialled, including a predictive spatial statistical model, us...

Electrical resistivity tomography array comparisons to detect cleared-wall foundations in brownfield sites (2019)
Journal Article
Eissa, R., Cassidy, N., Pringle, J., & Stimpson, I. (2019). Electrical resistivity tomography array comparisons to detect cleared-wall foundations in brownfield sites. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 53(1), 137-144. https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2018-192

Electrical resistivity surveys are commonly used to detect and characterise near-surface buried objects in commercial developments of brownfield sites. 2D ERT profiles arrays predominate in such surveys due to their relatively rapid deployment, good...

The long arm of the (geoforensic) law (2019)
Journal Article
Ruffell, A., Pringle, J., & Morgan, R. (2019). The long arm of the (geoforensic) law. Geoscientist, 26-27. https://doi.org/10.1144/geosci2019-011

A recent meeting in London considered both the conventional and unusual applications of geoscience to forensic investigation. Alastair Ruffell, Jamie Pringle and Ruth Morgan discuss the global expansion of forensic geoscience, and how this field is c... Read More about The long arm of the (geoforensic) law.

The Search for “Fred”: An Unusual Vertical Burial Case (2019)
Journal Article
D. Wisniewski, K., Cooper, N., Heaton, V., Hope, C., Pirrie, D., J. Mitten, A., & Pringle, J. K. (2019). The Search for “Fred”: An Unusual Vertical Burial Case. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 64(5), 1530-1539. https://doi.org/10.1111/1556-4029.14035

This case reports details of a multi-phased, geophysical survey to assist in a cold case search. The Police Service received witness intelligence that had stated an adult male “Fred” had been lured to an isolated area, killed and then buried vertical...

Wildlife Crime: The application of forensic geoscience to assist with criminal investigations (2019)
Journal Article
D. Wisniewski, K., K. Pringle, J., Allen, D., & E. Wilson, G. (2019). Wildlife Crime: The application of forensic geoscience to assist with criminal investigations. Forensic Science International, 11-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2018.10.026

Wildlife crime is a growing problem in many rural areas. However, it can often be difficult to determine exactly what had happened and provide evidential Court material, especially where evidence is ephemeral. This paper presents a case study where a...
