The detection of clandestine graves is an emerging tool in hyperspectral remote sensing. Though previous studies have demonstrated that it is possible to use hyperspectral remote sensing techniques in detection of mass graves, there is a lack of studies demonstrating the feasibility to utilize this same technology for the detection of individual burial sites. This thesis summarizes the first year of a multi-year study to ascertain the detectable changes to vegetation and soil spectra caused by the chemicals released from a single decomposing body. Eighteen pig (Sus scrofa) carcasses were buried in a temperate environment in Ottawa, ON. Three scenarios were examined; surface body deposition, 30 cm, and 90 cm soil cover. A Twin Otter aircraft...
