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...

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.

Imaging and monitoring tree-induced subsidence using electrical resistivity imaging (2009)
Journal Article

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...

Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics, 12(1), 127 -143. https://doi.org/10.2113/JEEG12.1.127

Jökulhlaups and lahars are both types of outburst flood that commonly comprise a glacial meltwater and volcaniclastic sediment mix, and have discharges that are typically several orders of magnitude greater than perennial flows. Both types thus const... Read More about GPR-derived sedimentary architecture and stratigraphy of outburst flood sedimentation within a bedrock valley system, Hraundalur, Iceland.

Forensic Geophysical Survey Report at Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK
Report
Pringle, J. . K., Cooper, N., & Heaton, V. (2017). Forensic Geophysical Survey Report at Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, UK. Staffordshire Police Service

A multi-geophysical survey was undertaken on a specified survey area. Once surface metallic clutter had been identified with a metal detector and removed (recovered metal bolt being of interest), EM, magnetic and GPR surveys were conducted. Results s...
