Forensic Use Of GPR And LiDAR Technology For Clandestine Grave Detection

Following a multi-month course of data collection using simulated human gravesites, Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) researcher Jordan Mullikin will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of GPR for the detection of unmarked graves. Additionally, this webinar will explore Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology for the same purpose and investigate the potential integration of both technologies for optimal detection of clandestine graves within the law enforcement and forensic communities. Divya Rupini Amarthaluri will discuss the workings of LiDAR and its advantages and disadvantages for the detection of unmarked graves.

This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on April 18, 2024.
