Preliminary results of sequential monitoring of simulated clandestine graves in Colombia, South America, using ground penetrating radar and botany (2014)
Journal Article

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

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

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

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

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.

The Carboniferous Southern Pennine Basin, UK (2014)
Journal Article

Many of the Carboniferous outcrops located in the Derbyshire region of the Peak District National Park, UK, have provided sites for both significant and pioneering research relating to the clastic sedimentology of marine palaeoenvironments, particula...

GPR and bulk ground resistivity surveys in graveyards: Locating unmarked burials in contrasting soil types (2014)
Journal Article

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

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.
