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
Pringle. (2010). Electrical resistivity survey to search for a recent clandestine burial of a homicide victim, UK. Forensic Science International, e1 - e7. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2010.04.023

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...

Comparisons of magnetic and electrical resistivity surveys over simulated clandestine graves in contrasting burial environments (2010)
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...

With the increasing computational power of modern personal computers, sophisticated modelling and inversion techniques are becoming popular tools for the interpretation of high-resolution, fully three-dimensional GPR surveys. In this paper, we presen... Read More about Interpreting complex, three-dimensional, near-surface GPR surveys: An integrated modelling and inversion approach.

Preliminary soilwater conductivity analysis to date clandestine burials of homicide victims (2010)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., Cassella, J. P., & Jervis, J. R. (2010). Preliminary soilwater conductivity analysis to date clandestine burials of homicide victims. Forensic Science International, 198(1-3), 126 - 133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2010.02.005

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.
