Online virtual learning resources have been available for and teaching in forensic science some years now, but the recent global COVID-19 related periods of irregular lockdown necessitated rapid development these teaching, CPD activities. However, do need to be carefully constructed grounded pedagogic theory effective. This article details eXtended Reality (XR) environments facilitate effective online geoscientists. The first two case studies discussed this make use Thinglink software...
Advances in data capture and computer technology have made possible the collection of 3D high-resolution surface subsurface digital geological from outcrop analogues. This paper describes research to obtain distribution internal sedimentary architecture turbidite channels associated sediments at a study site Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, UK. The 1D, 2D datasets included Total Station survey, terrestrial photogrammetry remote sensing, logs Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) dataset. A...
A simulated clandestine shallow grave was created within a heterogeneous, made-ground, urban environment where clothed, plastic resin, human skeleton, animal products, and physiological saline were placed in anatomically correct positions re-covered to ground level. series of repeat (time-lapse), near-surface geophysical surveys undertaken: (1) prior burial (to act as control), (2) 1 month, (3) 3 months post-burial. range different techniques employed including: bulk resistivity...
This study provides forensic search teams with systematic geophysical monitoring data over simulated clandestine graves for comparison to active cases. Simulated "wrapped" and "naked" burials were created. Multigeophysical surveys collected a 3-year period. Bulk ground resistivity, electrical resistivity imaging, multifrequency ground-penetrating radar (GPR), grave background "soil-water" conductivity collected. Resistivity revealed the naked burial had consistently low-resistivity...
Abstract This ongoing monitoring study provides forensic search teams with systematic geophysical data over simulated clandestine graves for comparison to active cases. Simulated “wrapped,” “naked,” and “control” burials were created. Multiple surveys collected 6 years, here showing from 4 years after burial. Electrical resistivity (twin electrode ERI ), multifrequency GPR , grave background soil water collected. Resistivity revealed that the naked burial had low‐resistivity anomalies up...
Abstract Finding hidden bodies, believed to have been murdered and buried, is problematic, expensive in terms of human resource currently has low success rates for law enforcement agencies. Here we present, the first time, ten years multidisciplinary geophysical monitoring simulated clandestine graves using animal analogues. Results will provide forensic search teams with crucial information on optimal detection techniques, equipment configuration datasets comparison active unsolved cold...
Autism is a lifelong developmental condition which impacts how individuals communicate and interact with the world around them simultaneously recognised broadly as form of neurodivergence protected legally disability (e.g. U.K. Equality Act 2010). frequently remains under-represented un-disclosed in academia, despite it having no impact on intelligence. In fact, many autistic traits such problem-solving skills thinking ‘outside box’ should be conducive to success...
ABSTRACT Submarine slope channel-fills form complicated stratigraphy and lithofacies distributions through repeated phases of erosion deposition. This provides a challenge to accurate 3D modelling, particularly in representing transitions within sand-poor areas. In this paper, traditional (sedimentary logs, palaeocurrent measurements, architectural panels) non-conventional technologies (Light Detection Ranging; Ground Penetrating Radar) were integrated quantitatively describe sedimentary...
Hand-held, portable X-Ray fluorescence instruments (pXRF) provide a means of rapid, in-situ chemical characterisation that has considerable application as rapid trace evidence tool in forensic geoscience. This study presents both control test which demonstrates optimisation the data collection process, alongside range individual case studies, including heavy metal contamination, conflict archaeology, soil characterisation, and verification human remains, together validate technique some...
ABSTRACT 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 optimum methodologies, most emphasis date being on metal detectors ground‐penetrating radar. However, these may not be suitable certain soil types (e.g., conductive or highly magnetic) for non‐metallic targets. Therefore, this study, magnetic...
