Forensic Chemistry in Soil and Mineral Identification – Training Services

Forensic Chemistry in Soil and Mineral Identification – Training Services provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the chemical and analytical principles used to identify and characterize soils and minerals in forensic investigations. The training covers soil composition, mineralogy, trace element analysis, and interactions between soil components and environmental factors. Participants will learn techniques such as spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), chromatography, and microscopy for accurate analysis. Emphasis is placed on sample collection, preservation, contamination control, and interpretation of results in criminal and environmental cases. Case studies highlight real-world applications in linking suspects, objects, or locations to crime scenes. By the end of the program, learners will gain practical and theoretical expertise in forensic soil and mineral analysis.
