Abstract

Applied geophysics plays an important role in getting information beneath the ground surface. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the vital ground-based geophysical tool which gained considerable attention of law enforcement and other similar organizations dealing with criminal investigations worldwide particularly in developed countries. The current study discusses GPR application with a practical example to simulate the response from the excavated zone containing materials of criminological importance due to their resemblance to those buried items which are most frequently found in actual crime scenes. The main aim was to achieve the radar response expected in real scenario in order to facilitate the identification procedure in non-invasive way of the most commonly buried remains in crime scenes.
