f The application of Geophysics in forensic investigations

The application of Geophysics in forensic investigations is becoming more widely accepted as a way of recovering the buried remains of clandestine burials. Some police forces in the UK now use geophysics as part of their search and location tool kit to locate clandestine burials. However, in recent times the use of geophysics in forensic investigations has become over reliant in the use of one technique, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This paper will address this issue and provide case studies of where other techniques have been used to locate clandestine burials.
