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...

Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, G., Cassidy, N., Thomas, P., Plante, S., & Pringle, J. (2009). Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging. Near Surface Geophysics, 7(3), 191 -206. https://doi.org/10.3997/1873-0604.2009017

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...
