Digital Twins.
This groundbreaking platform uses next-generation climate models to provide high-resolution, interactive simulations that address real-world challenges. By focusing on use cases like renewable energy in the Iberian Peninsula, the project demonstrates how cutting-edge climate data can guide decisions on wind farm placement, urban heat adaptation, and more, helping society prepare for and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The platform built by Vizzuality for the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) translates complex climate model data into interactive, easy-to-understand visualizations. It enables users ranging from the general public to energy planners and policymakers to explore high-resolution climate projections and analyze potential future scenarios.
High-resolution climate insights.
Advanced simulations to provide detailed, high-resolution climate data, and a clearer understanding of climate patterns.
Scenario exploration.
It enables users to model and test "what-if" scenarios, empowering policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders to plan effective climate adaptation strategies.
User-centered design.
Designed with an intuitive interface, the platform ensures that complex climate data is accessible and actionable.
The Climate Adaptation Digital Twin platform was a highly ambitious and challenging project that required translating complex, high-resolution climate data into an accessible and impactful user experience. One of the key challenges was making sophisticated simulations and predictions understandable for a wide audience, from policymakers to the general public. Vizzuality added extra value by focusing on user-centered design, creating intuitive visualizations that simplified complex data while ensuring it remained scientifically accurate.
Noteworthy features of the platform include its interactive capabilities, allowing users to explore various climate scenarios, and its ability to combine diverse datasets into cohesive, real-time models. This innovative approach not only highlighted the power of the digital twin technology but also made it a valuable tool for informed decision-making in climate adaptation and mitigation strategies.
