pig was placed in the outdoor facility in September, 2012, the indoor facility opened for classes in January 2013, and the first human donation was placed in November, 2013. , the facility had eleven human cadavars on site. Most remains desiccate quickly and current research focuses on the variation in the desiccation process and determining the post-mortem interval on mummified or desiccated remains. The focus at FIRS is on education and students include Colorado Mesa students, as well as practitioners, law enforcement, coroners, coroner deputies, and forensic scientists. University of South Florida The USF Facility for Outdoor Research and Training (FORT) is part of the Florida Institute for Forensic Anthropology and Applied Science (IFAAS) at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The FORT was created by Erin H. Kimmerle, Executive Director of IFAAS. This facility is a 3.4 acre outdoor research laboratory in Pasco County utilizing the USF Human Donation Program. The outdoor facility and the curated skeletal collection is open to visiting scholars and researchers. The facility was opened on September 19, 2018 with five bodies. It is the first and only facility of its type in Florida, as well as in a subtropical environment. The Pasco County Commission voted in May 2019 to end the contract that allows USF to run the facility. The agreement ended May 7, 2022. USF is in the process of finding a future alternative site. Australia The Australian Facility for Taphonomic Experimental Research (AFTER) opened in 2016. It is located near Yarramundi in the outskirts of Sydney, Australia, on a patch of land owned by the University of Technology, Sydney, and it is the first body farm outside the United States. It was established as research has demonstrated that differing environmental conditions mean that the findings of body farm analysis in the United States are frequently not relevant to Australia. A researcher with AFTER, Alyson Wilson, discovered while filming a 17 month decomposition that arms move more after death than expected. Her hypothesis to why this occurs is most likely due to the shrinking and contracting of the ligaments. The recent study has yet to be released to the public. A second Australian body farm has been proposed for central Queensland, which would be the first in the world to be in the tropics. Canada The Australian body farm was created by Shari Forbes. In 2018 she moved back to Canada where
