Sustaining Coral Reefs With Digital Twins
With coral reefs we associate colorful, great dive sites and the home of Nemo and his friends. Unfortunately, they are in danger. To preserve coral reefs, local communities, scientists and big companies need to team up. But how to turn numbers, charts and code into actionable data that is universally accessible? By creating a digital twin that can simulate an actual reef and support community efforts to manage, conserve and restore coral reefs. Join the conversation with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution scientist Anne L. Cohen and Siemens CTO Peter Koerte on how data can save coral reefs.
