The Coastal Digital Twin (CDT) is an interactive 4D model of coastal zones that combines satellite data, AI, and environmental simulations. It helps monitor and predict changes such as erosion, flooding, and pollution to support climate adaptation and coastal planning.
Funded by the European Space Agency
The Coastal Digital Twin Component (DTC) is a part of the European Space Agency's Digital Twin Earth (DTE) initiative, contributing to the European Union’s Destination Earth (DestinE) programme. It creates interactive, high-resolution simulations of coastal systems to support planning, resilience, and sustainable development.
The Coastal DTC aims to deliver a next-generation digital environment that enables simulation, forecasting, and analysis of complex coastal systems. It supports evidence-based decision-making to improve resilience to climate change and environmental risk.
The Coastal DTC project proposes four use cases, each designed to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities in addressing coastal risks and environmental challenges. These use cases are co-designed with stakeholders to ensure relevance and practical utility.
The Coastal DTC integrates cutting-edge technologies to model, monitor, and simulate coastal environments in a dynamic 4D framework.
It brings together Earth Observation, Artificial Intelligence, modeling, and cloud computing to support real-time decision-making and scenario testing for coastal resilience and climate adaptation.
