Article Synopsis
- Soil analysis plays a crucial role in forensic sciences by identifying soil diversity and geolocation, important for forensic geologists.
- A study collected 80 soil samples from eight Chinese cities, analyzing their mineral and elemental content using techniques like X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF).
- Advanced statistical methods like principal component analysis (PCA) and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) confirmed that the soil samples could successfully be linked to their specific cities of origin through mineralogical and elemental composition.
