Soils play a role in environmental forensics, where criminal and liable soil pollution is studied, and in criminal forensics, where soils are important as a source of trace evidence and as a place where human remains are buried and decay. At the conference multiple sessions were devoted to all of these topics. The contributions to this book are derived from these sessions and likewise show the extent and complex nature of this developing forensic expertise and its value for law enforcement. In soil forensics a multitude of scientific specializations, expertise and skills interplay: soil science, mineralogy, geology, geophysics, botany, ecology, palynology, archaeology, chemistry, spatial analysis, sampling and (geo)statistics - all of these and even more are relevant. Throughout this book examples are given of methodologies that are based on these sciences and used in soil forensics, such as GPR, GIS, examinations of minerals, pollen, microbial DNA, inorganic and organic materials, including material of anthropogenic origin, the use of databases, search-strategies for missing people and the study of decomposition processes in interaction with the environmental conditions of the burial site. Moreover the practice of soil forensics is depicted in its legal context, emphasizing the need for evidence to be suitable for court proceedings and the importance of co-operation, not only between scientists of different specializations but also between scientists and law enforcers, the latter beginning even before the examination of a crime scene. This book shows the broad field of soil forensics, emerging and solidifying in many countries all over the world, differing in some respects along with their legal systems, but ultimately sharing common grounds. 000761180 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 21, 2016). 000761180 650_0 $$aSoils$$xTesting$$vCongresses. 000761180 650_0 $$aSoils$$xComposition$$vCongresses. 000761180 650_0 $$aSoils$$xEnvironmental aspects$$vCongresses. 000761180 650_0 $$aForensic sciences$$vCongresses. 000761180 7001_ $$aKars, Henk,$$eeditor. 000761180 7001_ $$aEijkel, Lida van den,$$eeditor. 000761180 830_0 $$aSoil forensics (Springer (Firm)) 000761180 852__ $$bebk 000761180 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-33115-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000761180 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:761180$$pGLOBAL_SET 000761180 980__ $$aEBOOK 000761180 980__ $$aBIB 000761180 982__ $$aEbook 000761180 983__ $$aOnline 000761180 994__ $$a92$$bISE
