Organic gunshot residue as forensic evidence

Organic gunshot residue (OGSR) is a trace residue released during firearm discharge. It includes unburned, partially burned, and pyrolyzed components of the propellant (smokeless powder) and other organic substances (stabilizers, plasticizers, flame suppressants). Recently, the forensic community has shown interest in complementing standard SEM-EDS methods for the detection of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR), with analytical […]

Mineral chemistry as a tool for exploration – insights from the Kinkaid project, Nevada

This study will investigate the potential to use mineral chemistry to develop vectors around poorly understood Au and Cu mineralization in Nevada. We will combine traditional mapping methods with state-of-theartmineral chemistry techniques to assess the alteration halo around a complex array of mineralized systems. The research will be completed by a master’s students, who will […]
