"Creating a Digital Twin of Earth to Predict Natural Disasters"

Scientists have created a "digital twin" of Earth to simulate natural disasters and better understand the water cycle. This model, funded by the European Space Agency, uses high-resolution data from satellite observations to simulate best- and worst-case scenarios for natural disasters like flooding and landslides. The goal is to help forecast where these disasters could occur and improve water resource management. The scientists plan to expand the model to cover other regions and incorporate artificial intelligence to enhance its accuracy.
