Forensic Thanatology involves the study of death and the biochemical changes occurring postmortem. The research will determine how the unique Canadian environment affects the rate of decomposition and the trace evidence that survives. The Chair will investigate biochemical markers that are: released into the air and used by cadaver dogs to locate human remains; and released into the tissue or surrounds and could be used to estimate time since death. This knowledge will improve the effectiveness of death investigations in Canada and abroad involving the search and recovery of missing persons, and victims of homicide, mass disasters or war crimes.

法医死亡学涉及死亡和死后发生的生化变化的研究。该研究将确定加拿大独特的环境如何影响分解速度和幸存的微量证据。主席将研究以下生化标记：释放到空气中并被寻尸犬用来定位人类遗骸；并释放到组织或周围环境中，可用于估计死亡后的时间。这些知识将提高加拿大和国外死亡调查的有效性，包括搜寻和寻找失踪人员以及凶杀案、大规模灾难或战争罪的受害者。
