Abstract
A recent trend in the Earth Sciences is the adaptation of so-called “Digital Twins”. In Europe multi-million and even multi-billion projects are initiated for example, the Digital Twin of the Ocean and the Digital Twin Earth. But also many smaller digital-twin projects are popping up in the fields of city management, tunnels, hydraulic structures, waterways and coastal management. But what are Digital Twins really? Why are they now trending? What makes a Digital Twin different from a serious game, a numerical model or a simulator? In this session we will look at examples of digital twins, we will compare them to more traditional platforms and together define our expectations on future digital twins.
