This presentation explores the relevance of soil analysis in forensic science. It presents the use of Morphologically-Directed Raman Spectroscopy (MDRS) and its potential to be a valuable tool for forensic soil analysis due to its non-destructive, automated approach to collecting morphological and chemical information on individual particles. The presentation includes a live demonstration of the Morphologi software, using a simple example to compare soils collected from different Malvern sites around the world. A more detailed forensic example is presented which combines MDRS analysis with principal component analysis to distinguish between soil samples collected from four sites along the same road.
