Episode 3 - Digital Twin of the Ocean: The New Frontiers of Coastal Science

What if we could test the impact of a storm before it ever reaches the coast?
We step inside the Digital Twin of the Ocean: a living, virtual replica of the real ocean, continuously updated with satellite data, coastal sensors, ocean models and artificial intelligence.
We explore how digital twins, AI, high-performance computing and forecasting systems help scientists and decision-makers anticipate coastal flooding, erosion, wave overtopping and other climate-related hazards, and what it takes, behind the scenes, to make those simulations reliable and secure.
Featuring Dott. Giovanni Coppini, scientist at CMCC (Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change), Megi Hoxhaj, telecommunications engineer and technical lead at CMCC, and Salvatore Causio, Coastal Ocean Modeler at CMCC.
