Journal Article
Pringle. (2010). What do students do? Training, research and learning: developing skills for the next generation of near-surface geophysicists. Near Surface Geophysics, 445 -450. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2010060

In the past decade, degree programmes throughout Europe have changed dramatically and near-surface geophysics is now commonly taught as a minor component of other undergraduate geoscience and related degree programmes. As a consequence, there has bee... Read More about What do students do? Training, research and learning: developing skills for the next generation of near-surface geophysicists.

Capturing stratigraphic and sedimentological complexity from submarine channel complex outcrops to digital 3D models, Karoo Basin, South Africa (2010)
Journal Article
Pringle. (2010). Capturing stratigraphic and sedimentological complexity from submarine channel complex outcrops to digital 3D models, Karoo Basin, South Africa. Petroleum Geoscience, 307 - 330 (24). https://doi.org/10.1144/1354-079309-028

Submarine slope channel-fills form complicated stratigraphy and lithofacies distributions through repeated phases of erosion and deposition. This provides a challenge to accurate 3D modelling, particularly in representing lithofacies transitions with...

Geophysics and the search of freshwater bodies: a review (2010)
Journal Article
Pringle. (2010). Geophysics and the search of freshwater bodies: a review. Science and Justice, 141 -149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scijus.2009.09.001

Geophysics may assist scent dogs and divers in the search of water bodies for human and animal remains, contraband, weapons and explosives by surveying large areas rapidly and identifying targets or environmental hazards. The most commonly applied me... Read More about Geophysics and the search of freshwater bodies: a review.

Electrical resistivity survey to search for a recent clandestine burial of a homicide victim, UK. (2010)
Journal Article

This case report details an electrical resistivity survey to assist the search for a suspected 1-year-old clandestine burial of a murder victim in North Wales in the UK. Conventional search techniques (victim recovery dogs and probing) proved unsucce... Read More about Electrical resistivity survey to search for a recent clandestine burial of a homicide victim, UK..

Training the next generation of near-surface geophysicists: team-based, student-led, problem-solving field exercises, Cumbria, UK (2010)
Journal Article
Pringle. (2010). Training the next generation of near-surface geophysicists: team-based, student-led, problem-solving field exercises, Cumbria, UK. Near Surface Geophysics, 503 -517. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2010050

Discussions with employers of graduate applied geophysicists (reinforced by recent literature) indicate a progressive reduction in the numeracy and literacy of graduating students. In particular, there is a perception that problem-solving and quantit...

Using soil and groundwater data to understand resistivity surveys over a simulated clandestine grave (2009)
Book
Jervis, J. R., Pringle, J. K., Cassella, J. P., & Tuckwell, G. (2009). Using soil and groundwater data to understand resistivity surveys over a simulated clandestine grave. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-9204-6_17

Geophysical electrical resistivity surveys have been used in a number of attempts to locate clandestine ‘shallow’ graves, based on the valid assumption that a grave may represent a contrast in the electrical properties of the ground compared to ‘back...

Comparison of time-lapse GPR and resistivity over simulated clandestine graves (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Pringle, J., Jervis, J., & Tuckwell, G. (2009). Comparison of time-lapse GPR and resistivity over simulated clandestine graves. . https://doi.org/10.3997/2214-4609.20146988

Forensic geophysics should be an invaluable tool to assist search teams to detect and locate clandestine graves of buried murder victims. At present however, geophysics is under-utilised and currently used techniques may not be optimal for specific t...

Resolving Deep-Water Channel Architectures: High-Resolution Forward Seismic Modeling of Turbidite Systems, Ainsa II Channel, Campodarbe Group, Northern Spain (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Pringle. (2008, December). Resolving Deep-Water Channel Architectures: High-Resolution Forward Seismic Modeling of Turbidite Systems, Ainsa II Channel, Campodarbe Group, Northern Spain. Presented at 28th Annual GCSSEPM Foundation Bob F. Perkins Research Conference, Houston, Texas

Turbidite channel systems are a common target in exploring for petroleum reservoirs though their internal architectures can be highly varied. To investigate channel architectures in turbidite systems, the spectacularly exposed, Ainsa II channel in th...

Pringle. (2008, December). Facies characteristics in a semi-confined basin: from high net:gross channelized sheets to lower net:gross onlap margins. Grand Coyer basin, SE France. Presented at 28th Annual GCSSEPM Foundation Bob F. Perkins Research Conference, Houston, Texas

Common stratigraphic-trap reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico and along the margins of the Atlantic are found within channelized (e.g., Tahoe) or basin margin settings (e.g., Auger, Mars). These are frequently within small, structurally controlled and t...

With deep-water basins becoming mature exploration areas, and the number of undrilled structural traps diminishing, stratigraphic traps are growing increasingly important. Onlapping turbidite sands are a common stratigraphic trap type in confined bas...
