Human remains have been interred in burial grounds since historic times. Although the re-use of graveyards differs from one country, region or time-period to another, over time graveyard soil may become contaminated or enriched with heavy metal eleme...

Stimpson, & Pringle. (2019). Electrical resistivity tomography array comparisons to detect cleared-wall foundations in brownfield sites. Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2018-192

Electrical resistivity surveys are commonly used to detect and characterise near-surface buried objects in commercial developments of brownfield sites. 2D ERT profiles arrays predominate in such surveys due to their relatively rapid deployment, good...

The geology of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales comprises a mixture of Lower Palaeozoic shallow marine sediments, acidic igneous rocks and basic intrusions of the Welsh Basin that were subsequently deformed during the Caledonian Orogeny. Th... Read More about Geophysical surveys to help map buried igneous intrusions, Snowdonia, North Wales, UK.
