Preliminary results of sequential monitoring of simulated clandestine graves in Colombia, South America, using ground penetrating radar and botany (2014)
Journal Article
Martin Molina, C., Pringle, J. K., Saumett, M., & Hernández, O. (2015). Preliminary results of sequential monitoring of simulated clandestine graves in Colombia, South America, using ground penetrating radar and botany. Forensic Science International, 248, 61 -70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2014.12.011

In most Latin American countries there are significant numbers of missing people and forced disappearances, 68,000 alone currently in Colombia. Successful detection of shallow buried human remains by forensic search teams is difficult in varying terr...

The use of magnetic susceptibility as a forensic search tool (2014)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., Giubertoni, M., Cassidy, N. J., Wisniewski, K. D., Hansen, J. D., Linford, N. T., & Daniels, R. M. (2015). The use of magnetic susceptibility as a forensic search tool. Forensic Science International, 246, 31 -42. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2014.10.046

There are various techniques available for forensic search teams to employ to successfully detect a buried object. Near-surface geophysical search methods have been dominated by ground penetrating radar but recently other techniques, such as electric...

Educational egaming: The future for geoscience virtual learners? (2014)
Journal Article
Pringle. (2014). Educational egaming: The future for geoscience virtual learners?. Geology Today, 30(4), 145 - 148 (4). https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12058

Current student learners will mostly comprise so-called Generation Y who have grown up with personal computer and egaming technologies. They are used to a variety of digital learning environments and educational egaming may therefore provide effectiv...

A study of the effect of seasonal climatic factors on the electrical resistivity response of three experimental graves (2014)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., & Jervis, J. R. (2014). A study of the effect of seasonal climatic factors on the electrical resistivity response of three experimental graves. Journal of Applied Geophysics, 108, 53 -60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jappgeo.2014.06.008

Electrical resistivity surveys have proven useful for locating clandestine graves in a number of forensic searches. However, some aspects of grave detection with resistivity surveys remain imperfectly understood. One such aspect is the effect of seas...

Educational e-gaming to provide an innovative, effective and flexible 24/7 learning environment (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Pringle. (2014, March). Educational e-gaming to provide an innovative, effective and flexible 24/7 learning environment. Presented at HEA STEM Annual Learning & Teaching Conference, Edinburgh

Current HE undergraduates have mostly grown up with computer technologies and gaming. As such, computer game learning resources might provide an effective, complementary learning environment. They also provide a consistent 24/7 flexible online learni... Read More about Educational e-gaming to provide an innovative, effective and flexible 24/7 learning environment.

GPR and bulk ground resistivity surveys in graveyards: Locating unmarked burials in contrasting soil types (2014)
Journal Article
Hansen, J. D., Pringle, J. K., & Goodwin, J. (2014). GPR and bulk ground resistivity surveys in graveyards: Locating unmarked burials in contrasting soil types. Forensic Science International, 237, e14 - e29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2014.01.009

With graveyards and cemeteries globally being increasingly designated as full, there is a growing need to identify unmarked burial positions to find burial space or exhume and re-inter if necessary. In some countries, for example the U.S. and U.K., b... Read More about GPR and bulk ground resistivity surveys in graveyards: Locating unmarked burials in contrasting soil types.

Search protocols for hidden forensic objects beneath floors and within walls (2014)
Journal Article
Ruffell, A., Pringle, J. K., & Forbes, S. (2014). Search protocols for hidden forensic objects beneath floors and within walls. Forensic Science International, 237, 137 -145. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2013.12.036

The burial of objects (human remains, explosives, weapons) below or behind concrete, brick, plaster or tiling may be associated with serious crime and are difficult locations to search. These are quite common forensic search scenarios but little has... Read More about Search protocols for hidden forensic objects beneath floors and within walls.
