Forensic Field Techniques for Human Remains by Christopher Courtin: Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 7:00 pm (EDT)

Forensic Field Techniques for Human Remains  is based on an educational documentary DVD produced for students of forensic science and as a reference for law enforcement officers. Working with experts from Laurentian University’s Forensic Science department, the roles, equipment and procedures used by anthropologists, botanists, and entomologists (or bones, plants, and bugs) are explored. Topics such as techniques for searching, the body decomposition timeline, and the effects of exposure to fire and water are covered. 

Christopher Courtin was educated as a scientist but has worked primarily in visual storytelling as a cameraman, editor, and director. He is the author of the “Margot & Harley” comedic mystery series, and lives in Victoria, BC, with his wife and two children.
