Journal Article
Juerges, A., Pringle, J., Jervis, J., & Masters, P. (2010). Comparisons of magnetic and electrical resistivity surveys over simulated clandestine graves in contrasting burial environments. Near Surface Geophysics, 8(6), 529 -539. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2010041

Determining the effectiveness and limitations of near-surface, non-invasive geophysical techniques is imperative when attempting to locate clandestine burials. Unlike in archaeology, there has been limited forensic research with regard to optimum met...

This study reports on a new geoscientific method to estimate the post-burial interval (PBI) and potential post-mortem interval (PMI) date of homicide victims in clandestine graves by measuring decomposition fluid conductivities. Establishing PBI/PMI... Read More about Preliminary soilwater conductivity analysis to date clandestine burials of homicide victims.

Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging (2009)
Journal Article

Tree-induced subsidence is a natural ground movement phenomenon that arises when tree roots absorb water from clay-rich soils, causing them to shrink. Tree-induced subsidence is particularly problematic for buildings and structures in close proximity...

Journal Article
Carrivick, J. L., Pringle, J. K., Russell, A. J., & Cassidy, N. J. (2007). GPR-derived sedimentary architecture and stratigraphy of outburst flood sedimentation within a bedrock valley system, Hraundalur, Iceland. Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, 12(1), 127 -143. https://doi.org/10.2113/JEEG12.1.127

Jökulhlaups and lahars are both types of outburst flood that commonly comprise a glacial meltwater and volcaniclastic sediment mix, and have discharges that are typically several orders of magnitude greater than perennial flows. Both types thus const... Read More about GPR-derived sedimentary architecture and stratigraphy of outburst flood sedimentation within a bedrock valley system, Hraundalur, Iceland.
