Advances in the Digital Ocean for Coastal Monitoring and Forecasting

Session ID#: 257035

Session Description:
Confronting the escalating impacts of climate change on our coastlines demands a revolution in how we monitor, predict, and protect these vital zones. The rapid advancement of the Digital Ocean, powered by AI-enhanced and data fusion high-resolution coastal observations, and sophisticated AI-driven numerical models, offers this crucial leap forward. These innovations now enable unprecedented accuracy and seamless forecasting capabilities, bridging the gap from regional seas to specific coastal areas. 

This session is dedicated to showcasing these cutting-edge, co-produced digital services and products. We will explore how AI-enhanced observations and models are already delivering vital marine knowledge for critical applications: from precise pollution and erosion risk mapping to proactive resource management, early warning for harmful algal blooms, combating ecosystem degradation, bolstering Marine Protected Areas, and tackling natural hazards. Join us to discover how these digital innovations are becoming essential tools for effective coastal adaptation and building resilient communities in a changing world.
