Incorporating Environmental Lines of Evidence into Nuclear and Criminal Forensics

The Conference on Application of Accelerators in Research and Industry (CAARI) will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX on May 25-30, 2014.

Dr. Adam Love, Principal Scientist, Roux Associates, will be presenting:

Incorporating Environmental Lines of Evidence into Nuclear and Criminal Forensics

Nuclear and criminal forensics is always seeking the irrefutable "smoking gun", but often times a single, direct line of evidence does not sufficiently narrow attribution. In some cases environmental features can contribute additional lines of evidence to further narrow attribution. Accelerator Mass Spectrometry has expanded the ability for environmental data to be collected from smaller samples and/or at higher spatial/temporal resolution.

This presentation will discuss application of accelerator mass spectrometry that can provide environmentally-based lines of evidence that can support source and timing attribution. Click here to learn more about CAARI 2014.
