Information hour on running a Satellite Event on Digital Twins of the Ocean The snapshot of the Summit could be found as follows. Detailed agenda will be updated when it is ready prior to the commencement of the Summit. Stay tuned! We sincerely call for abstracts submitting to the following sessions for in-depth discussions on advancing and applying DTOs 1. Ocean Observations & Data Systems Co-chairs:  Toste Tanhua, Marjolaine Krug, Yan Du Ocean observation is important to generate the information needed to understand, manage and protect the ocean. Data systems are essential for integrating ocean observations and key information for ocean and climate research. Ocean observations and data systems allow us to understand and improve our predictions of ocean systems, different ocean hazards, climate variability and global change, as well as to provide critical information for policymakers on ocean sustainable development. This session welcomes topics: (1) bringing together research...

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...
