About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Join Professor Ian Moffat as he talks about his involvement in the mysterious disappearance of the Beaumont Children.

Professor Ian Moffat is an archaeological scientist involved in the 2018 dig and the 2025 dig with anthropologist and anatomist Professor Maciej Henneberg, who has expertise in locating hidden graves.

Professor Moffat's recent work with South Australia Police in identifying a potential burial site of Jane, Arnna and Grant Beaumont has advanced a method for identifying disturbed soil, archaeological material and unmarked grave sites. Known as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), this technique maps underground features in 3D.
