Scientists Create Earth’s Digital Twin

Scientists and researchers are preparing a new project to closely monitor and prevent the effects of climate change. Within the scope of this projecta Digital Twin Earth named ‘a digital twin of the planet‘ will be created. It takes high-end artificial intelligence algorithms and powerful supercomputers to create a digital twin of Earth. Working on these technologies European Space Agency (ESA) and partnersAt the same time, it continues to collect data about the Earth with the images it receives from satellites.

The aim of the project, which was first introduced in 2020; natural and man-made activities on Earth. future effects on the planet. build models. The models created will be able to reveal the chain effects of the activities that occur. E.g; When a return to ‘clean energy sources’ is made in any region of the world, the greenhouse gas emission rate of that region a simulation of the changes can be created. The direct effects of this change in the emission rate on sea level rise can also be modeled.

Antarctica’s digital twin has already been created:

ESA and his team stated that they started the ‘digital twin’ project small at the PhiWeek event held between 11-15 October. Speaking in ESA’s press release, Edinburgh University scientist Noel Gournmelen said, that they form the digital twin of ‘Antarctica’‘ he explained. It is predicted that the created digital twin will provide great help to researchers in tracking the melting of glaciers. fresh waters of the world 60% of at ocean level if the entire Antarctic ice sheet 58 meters an increase has been calculated. This is a disaster for humanity.

To study the Earth from different aspects, scientists ‘Digital Oceans Twin, Digital Food Twin, Digital Forests Twin‘, they aim to gain knowledge in each field separately by creating models such as ‘. These models are planned to be made in a way that can be understood by the society. Thus, the latest data on the effects of climate change by everyone observable.
