Hi, my name is Alice Kane and I'm a student at Durham University. An innovation that I saw

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:16.160
recently is how snow animation codes used in the Frozen film in 2013 were used to solve the

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:22.559
62-year-old mystery of the Dyatlov Pass incident, which is where nine Russian researchers went

00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:28.719
missing and their bodies were found in mysterious circumstances with unusual injuries. And this

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:34.480
remained a mystery for 62 years until a researcher from the Swiss Institute watched Frozen

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.200
and realised that their snow animation codes were really realistic. So he asked to borrow them and

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:49.759
recreated the Dyatlov Pass incident with some GM cadaver research and they basically proved that

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:57.520
avalanches can create blunt trauma injuries via compression. So that's now being used to treat

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:04.800
and protect people from avalanche injuries, informing both medical response and creating

00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.720
outerwear and equipment to stop those injuries happening.
