Applications of geoforensic trace evidence (2024)
Journal Article
Jeffery, A. J., Pirrie, D., Pringle, J. K., Ruffell, A., & Stimpson, I. G. (2024). Applications of geoforensic trace evidence. Geology Today, 40(4), 139-145. https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12484

Geoforensic trace evidence studies can be crucial for law enforcement and civil/criminal prosecution and defence, to test potential links between suspect(s), crime scenes or forensic object(s). In addition, trace geological evidence can be used to id... Read More about Applications of geoforensic trace evidence.

Thinglink and the Laboratory: Interactive Simulations of Analytical Instrumentation for HE Science Curricula (2022)
Journal Article
Jeffery, A. J., Rogers, S. L., Pringle, J. K., Zholobenko, V. L., Jeffery, K. L., Wisniewski, K. D., …Emley, D. W. (2022). Thinglink and the Laboratory: Interactive Simulations of Analytical Instrumentation for HE Science Curricula. Journal of Chemical Education, 2277-2290. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.1c01067

Access to laboratory facilities and associated instrumentation represents a major barrier to learning in physical science education, due to constraints introduced by limited time and financial resources, cost 20 of acquisition, and health and safety...

From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation (2022)
Journal Article
Cooke, J. C., & Jeffery, A. J. (2022). From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation. Geology Today, 38(2), 58-64. https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12382

Mineral specimens found in historical collections often include specimen labels, which may provide vital information on the nature, chemistry and origin of the material. However, the evolution of chemical notation, particularly during the eighteenth... Read More about From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation.

The use of portable XRF as a forensic geoscience non-destructive trace evidence tool for environmental and criminal investigations (2022)
Journal Article
Pringle, J., Jeffery, A., Ruffell, A., Stimpson, I., Pirrie, D., Bergslien, E., …Partridge, J. (2022). The use of portable XRF as a forensic geoscience non-destructive trace evidence tool for environmental and criminal investigations. Forensic Science International, 111175 - 111175. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2022.111175

Hand-held, portable X-Ray fluorescence instruments (pXRF) provide a means of rapid, in-situ chemical characterisation that has considerable application as a rapid trace evidence characterisation tool in forensic geoscience. This study presents both a... Read More about The use of portable XRF as a forensic geoscience non-destructive trace evidence tool for environmental and criminal investigations.

‘Block and basin’ style rift basins: sedimentological insights from the Mississippian Fell Sandstone Formation (2021)
Journal Article
Howell, L. P., Priddy, C., Mitten, A. J., Jeffery, A. J., Egan, S. S., Leslie, G., …Kearsey, T. I. (2021). ‘Block and basin’ style rift basins: sedimentological insights from the Mississippian Fell Sandstone Formation. Journal of the Geological Society, 179(4), jgs2021 - 083. https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2021-083

The block and basin tectonostratigraphic framework for the northern Pennine (rift) Basin, within which buoyant granite intrusions core intra-basin fault-bounded blocks, has long held traction. However, many of the elements of this framework are roote... Read More about ‘Block and basin’ style rift basins: sedimentological insights from the Mississippian Fell Sandstone Formation.
