How Volcanoes Help Solve Crimes

Thursday 19th February 2015, 2.30 - 4.30pm

Suitability: 10 YRS+

What is forensic geology and how has geology helped to solve several high profile criminal cases in the UK and internationally? For example how can soil found on a shoe help to solve a crime? 
Join us for a series of interactive talks followed by a treasure hunt for forensic geological clues using exhibition material in the Ulster Museum. This will reveal how a forensic geologist thinks and show how an understanding of geological processes and environments can assist in unravelling a crime.
ORGANISED BY THE ULSTER MUSEUM IN COLLABORATION WITH QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY BELFAST AND GEOLOGICAL SURVEY NORTHERN IRELAND. SUPPORTED BY THE NORTHERN IRELAND REGIONAL GROUP OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.
