Presentation / Conference
Williams, A., Cross, P., Ruffell, A., Masters, P., Pringle, J., & Cassella, J. (2013, November). Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK. Presented at Second International Conference on Engineering Geophysics, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

This paper provides an overview of current collaborative academic forensic geophysics research on various U.K. test sites to detail the importance of forensic simulated burial sites for forensic search investigators. Academic forensic test sites cont... Read More about Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK.

The Precambrian–Cambrian nonconformity at the Ercall Quarries, The Wrekin, Shropshire, UK (2013)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., & Stimpson, I. G. (2013). The Precambrian–Cambrian nonconformity at the Ercall Quarries, The Wrekin, Shropshire, UK. Geology Today, 29(5), 195 - 199 (5). https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12023

The Precambrian–Cambrian boundary is iconic, marking the first appearance of shelly fauna in the fossil record, and opening the Phanerozoic Eon. In England and Wales, the transition from predominantly Precambrian igneous rocks to Cambrian sedimentary...

Comparison of magnetic, electrical and ground penetrating radar surveys to detect buried forensic objects in semi-urban and domestic patio environments (2013)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., & Hansen, J. D. (2013). Comparison of magnetic, electrical and ground penetrating radar surveys to detect buried forensic objects in semi-urban and domestic patio environments. Geological Society Special Publications, 384, 229 - 251. https://doi.org/10.1144/SP384.13

Near-surface geophysical techniques should be routinely utilized by law enforcement agencies to locate shallowly buried forensic objects, saving human and other resources. However, there has been little published research on optimum geophysical detec...
