Abstract

Wilderness search and rescue (SAR) is a critical operation that requires careful team collaboration. Even with current technologies, SAR workers still face communication difficulties when working outside in challenging conditions. The goal of my thesis work is to understand how communication and collaboration interfaces can be designed to better support wilderness-SAR teams while distributed in an outdoor environment with challenging terrain and conditions.
