A report showing how estimations, calculations, and the tracking of insect activity around a cadaver can be used to accurately estimate the time of death in a number of environmental conditions. Insects have predictable habits, so they are a vital tool in forensic cases such as homicides. This report includes calculations with the Glaister equation to determine the PMI (Postmortem Interval) using the internal body temperature of a cadaver and the ambient temperature of the scene.

A report using data from three practical sessions in a lab, including further techniques to be used in the analysis of soil, pollen, and diatom evidence. This includes potential health & safety hazards, variables in the method, a discussion of the results, as well as photographs of soil, pollen, and diatoms under a light microscope for reference.

A report on the forensic application of decomposition when analysing a cadaver using the 5 stages of decomposition after death and multiple factors that contribute to the increase or decrease in the length of each stage. An evaluation of methods and graphs using practical data are included and discussed.
