Isotopic Forensics
Season 3 Episode 3 | 26m 31sVideo has Closed Captions
Explore how isotopic forensics can help identify those who die trying to cross the border.
A little less than half of those who die trying to cross the southern U.S. border die in Arizona. Those sobering numbers present a scientific challenge: identifying the person who died so that loved ones can know what happened. An ASU researcher is using technology to meet this challenge. It’s an effort funded in part by a grant from the U.S. justice department.
