We are pleased to share our new project that officially kicked off in 2025: ‘Svalbard Cryosphere Digital Twin (SvalbardDT)’. Website here: https://svalbarddt.org/
The SvalbardDT project will build a Digital Twin Component (DTC) as part of the European Space Agency’s (ESAs) Destination Earth (DestinE) initiative to build a digital twin of the Earth. We will construct a new DTC of the ice and snow of Svalbard’s cryosphere in the 21st Century through an automated data management system to ingest, harmonise, and analyse data products ready for delivery to the Digital Twin Earth Service Platform (DESP). The DTC will be optimised using Svalbard’s extensive observational record which will enable us to undertake a thorough validation of the DTC outputs.
If you are interested, please do get in touch with me and the team!
