Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., Jervis, J. R., Hansen, J. D., Jones, G. M., Cassidy, N. J., & Cassella, J. P. (2012). Geophysical Monitoring of Simulated Clandestine Graves Using Electrical and Ground-Penetrating Radar Methods: 0–3 Years After Burial. Journal of Forensic Sciences, 57(6), 1467 - 1486. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1556-4029.2012.02151.x

This study provides forensic search teams with systematic geophysical monitoring data over simulated clandestine graves for comparison to active cases. Simulated "wrapped" and "naked" burials were created. Multigeophysical surveys were collected over...

Establishing forensic search methodologies and geophysical surveying for the detection of clandestine graves in coastal beach environments (2012)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., Holland, C., Szkornik, K., & Harrison, M. (2012). Establishing forensic search methodologies and geophysical surveying for the detection of clandestine graves in coastal beach environments. Forensic Science International, 219(1-3), e29 - e36. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2012.01.010

A 2010 UK police search for a clandestine burial highlighted the need for more information and quantitative data to aid coastal beach searches. This study aimed to address this by establishing relevant forensic search methodologies to aid the search...
