Bringing science to the search for missing persons.

Purposeful scientific advice

Every enquiry has its own context. Our consultancy focuses on understanding the questions being asked and considering how science can contribute.

We bring a research-informed perspective, while recognising the limits of scientific interpretation and the importance of the people affected.

Consultancy supports investigation and decision-making; it does not replace the work of police or emergency services, or guarantee an outcome.

• Understand the question

  Establish the scope of an enquiry and where scientific input may be relevant.

• Consider the science

  Explore the available scientific understanding and its relevance to the circumstances.

• Communicate carefully

  Present advice with appropriate context, uncertainty, and limitations.
