Forensic geology is the study of evidence relating to materials found in the Earth used to answer questions raised by the legal system. In 1975, Ray Murray and fellow Rutgers University professor John Tedrow published Forensic Geology. [1] The main use of forensic geology as it is applied today is regarding trace evidence.
The tectonics processes in Indonesia formed major structures in Indonesia. The most prominent fault in the west of Indonesia is the Semangko Fault or the Great Sumatran Fault, a dextral strike-slip fault along Sumatra Island (about 1,900 km). The formation of this fault zone is related to the subduction zone in the west of Sumatra.
Forensic geology deals with trace evidence in the form of soils, minerals and petroleum. Forensic geomorphology is the study of the ground surface to look for potential location(s) of buried object(s). [82] Forensic geophysics is the application of geophysical techniques such as radar for detecting objects hidden underground [83] or underwater ...
The full official Indonesian name is the Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (English: Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center), often abbreviated to PVMBG. [1] It is based in Bandung in West Java. [2] It was preceded by the Netherlands East Indies Volcanological Survey. [3]
Fractography is the study of the fracture surfaces of materials. Fractographic methods are routinely used to determine the cause of failure in engineering structures, especially in product failure and the practice of forensic engineering or failure analysis.
Forensic geophysics is an evolving technique that is gaining popularity and prestige in law enforcement. [ 2 ] Searched for objects obviously include clandestine graves of murder victims, but also include unmarked burials in graveyards and cemeteries, weapons used in criminal activities and environmental crime illegally dumping material.
