“Perspectives on Digital Twin Earth”
Abstract
Digital twins are a hype in many scientific domains. A digital twin of the Earth is envisaged in leading programs, such as Europe’s Destination Earth. While some see this as a continuous development towards km-scale global non-hydrostatic modelling enabled by increasing computational capabilities, others regard this as paradigmatic leading to fundamental new workflows in weather and climate research and services. I will present a perspective on the latter and will discuss digital twins in the weather and climate domain related to emerging digital technologies and data sciences up to considerations from social sciences and humanities.
General information
GERICS Online Colloquium „Our Future in a Changing Climate”
Science-based solutions are key for a climate resilient Europe, the adaptation to the impact of climate change and the ability to adapt and transform societies to a low carbon lifestyle (the Paris lifestyle). The development and implementation of such solutions are our major challenges today. Transdisciplinary and interactive research on climate adaptation and transformation is therefore a prerequisite in supporting societal change.
To strengthen the interactions between GERICS and partners and in order to enhancing collaborations within Hereon and with national and international institutions, GERICS is organizing an online colloquium series on “Our Future in a Changing Climate”, focusing not only on the field of climate adaptation and transformation but on a variety of topics related to climate change impact. On the one hand GERICS wants to present progress on research and publications as well as on climate service products and activities. On the other hand, new insights and new emerging fields of interests shall be discussed internally and externally with invited guests and partners. With the colloquium research ideas and exchanges will be facilitated in a new and creative way of interacting.
External (national and international) guests and experts are frequently invited to share ideas and opinions, and to jointly develop new fields of collaborations.
The lectures are held in English.
Location: Hybrid (Zoom Webinar).
Time: GERICS Online Colloquium regularly takes place on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. or 4:00 p.m. CEST (depending on availability of international guests).
Organization:
• Maria Wolff (organization)
• Tania Guillén (invitation of international guests)
• Knut Görl (advertisement and website)
• Katerina Davydok (administration)
