Towards a Digital Twin of Sustainable Earth and Infrastructure

Session ID#: 161039

Session Description:
A comprehensive, trustworthy, and yet effective framework, such as a Digital Twin, is needed to enable the persistent ingest of multiple sources of observational and modeling earth system data in an accurate and efficient manner to allow near real-time visualization and decision-making as well as continuous monitoring to mitigate future impacts and improve infrastructure resilience. 

This session seeks contributions in developing intelligent virtual representations of the Earth in the form of Digital Twin or similar to address critical social and environmental issues of our time. These Digital Twin systems will incorporate characteristics such as dynamically integratable Earth system models and simulations; other relevant models (e.g., related to the world’s infrastructure); continuous and timely (including near real time and direct readout) observations (e.g., space, air, ground, over/underwater, Internet of Things (IoT), socioeconomic); long-time records; as well as big data analytics and artificial intelligence tools.
