RESEARCH TO RESOLVE
Paleo-Forge Paleoceanography Paleoceanography Forensic Palynology Pollen is Everywhere Geoarchaeology Geoarchaeology Geoarchaeology
Forensic Palynology is the use of pollen and spores in to solve investigations — particularly when it is important to know about the modern or ancient corpse's last meals and where they were eaten. Our speciality is focused on collaborating with the Canadian First Nations and Glasgow University paleobotanists in revealing the origin and last days of the 500-year-old British Columbian frozen man.
