National Academies Digital Twin Workshops - Atmospheric, Climate, and Sustainability Science

A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine-appointed ad hoc committee will identify needs and opportunities to advance the mathematical, statistical, and computational foundations of digital twins in applications across science, medicine, engineering, and society. They have organized a series of workshops including this workshop focusing on focusing on atmospheric, climate, and sustainability science.

This workshop invites speakers and panelists—including Mike Goodchild (University of California - Santa Barbara), Venkatramani Balaji (Schmidt Futures), Amy McGovern (University of Oklahoma), Anima Anandkumar (California Institute of Technology), and others—to discuss the definition of a digital twin and its applications.

The workshop will focus on key technical challenges for developing and using digital twins, including issues related to ML/AI, big data, and data assimilation. The workshop will also explore opportunities for translation of promising practices to and from other fields.

Register for the project's information-gathering workshop on digital twins in the Atmospheric, Climate, and Sustainability Science field.

February 1, 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM (CST) and February 2, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (CST)
