Using drones and dummies, an interdisciplinary team of NSF-funded mathematicians and engineers are tracking how objects move in real-world water environments. Their findings may one day aid faster ocean rescues, speed oil-spill cleanups, and even provide new tools to fight crop-killing plant diseases.

When chemicals contaminate the ocean, disaster response is based on complicated simulations. This can take days for a computer to render - all while ocean currents are spreading contaminants. That’s not fast enough. How about shaving days down to minutes?

Being able to predict a contaminant’s movement allows for better disaster response - minimizing environmental damage, costs of cleanup, and injuries on marine life.

These same simulations can be used to help rescue people who fall overboard in the open ocean or help farmers forecast the spread of plant disease in the atmosphere, which in can save huge costs on pesticide sprays.
