SUMMARY:Post-blast explosive residue: Morphological\, chemical and computa
 tional studies - Nadia Abdul-Karim\, Security Science Doctoral Research Tr
 aining Centre\, University College London

CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:Few studies have previously attempted to establish the nature 
 of chemical evidence that can remain following detonation\, with the major
 ity focusing instead on developing methods for trace explosives analysis. 
 In this talk\, the findings from detonations of improvised and military ex
 plosive charges will be outlined\, in particular that each produces morpho
 logically distinct post-blast explosive residues that disperse uniquely ar
 ound detonation centres. Methods of combining experimental and computation
 al modelling techniques within this field are explained\, and the benefits
  of doing so for the development of post-blast crime scene investigation a
 re highlighted.
