🧠 Lecture: "Lost and Found: Inside a Search and Rescue Call"

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Natalie Bonthius

When someone disappears in the wilderness, the search that follows is far more methodical—and far more uncertain—than most people imagine.

Join emergency physician and wilderness medicine specialist Dr. Natalie Bonthius for an inside look at how search and rescue operations actually work. From the first missing person report to the moment a subject is found—or the difficult call to stop searching—you’ll see how teams turn vast, unforgiving terrain into targeted search zones.

Learn how rescuers use last known points, terrain analysis, and probability to guide their efforts, and how subtle clues—disturbed vegetation, footprints, dropped gear—can shift an entire operation.

Dr. Natalie Bonthius is a Dartmouth emergency physician and wilderness medicine specialist who works with search and rescue teams and expedition groups. Her work focuses on medical care and decision-making in remote, high-pressure environments.

🌲 Come see how people are found when everything feels lost.
