Exploring shallow lagoons with USV mapping technology   Parallel to the in-person  International Digital Twins of the Ocean Summit  in Xiamen, China, GEOMAR is coordinating a worldwide series of  virtual satellite events . We would like to encourage you to register a satellite event supporting the engagement and advancement of actions in the broad area of Digital Twins of the Ocean. All information regarding the timing, format and  registration  for hosting a satellite event can be found below. https://ditto-summit2023.scimeeting.cn/en/web/index/17765_ Introduction The ocean is facing challenges from both climate change and increasing impacts caused by anthropogenic activities. This calls for breakthrough solutions to address the challenges for a shared sustainable ocean future. Digital twins of the ocean (DTOs) are digital representation of the ocean that help to answer ‘what if’ questions. Thus, they are intended to provide science-based decisio...

Digital Twin Project: A Real Case of Flood Control Modeling and Simulation   Flood control structures, such as dikes, dams, spurs, levees, drainage channels, and floodways, are intended to protect coastal and riverine areas of cities, farms, and other areas of economic value, as well as the people living there. These structures are expected to prevent flooding of the low-lying regions and nearby buildings, such as homes, businesses, roads, and railroads, in some cases by channeling the flow of water into a body of water, such as a lake, sea, or water reservoir. When properly designed and constructed, they can significantly reduce flood damage, encourage development in flood-prone areas, and provide safety for communities. However, if improperly designed, constructed, operated, or maintained, they may be insufficient to stop an uncontrolled flood and can increase the risk of flooding. Thus, when planning a new structure, engineers must have highly accurate data to build a digital tw...
