When someone goes missing, time is of the essence. Those first 24 to 48 hours are critical to search and rescue efforts. The missing could be in grave danger, and finding them often requires a fresh trail with evidence that hasn’t been washed away by rain or disturbed by animals or people. A research team based out of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly), is working with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications’ (NCSA) resource Delta to help shorten the time between when a person goes missing, and when they’re found.
