At The Ocean Embassy, Anna Madlener, marine robotics engineer and ocean enthusiast, interviews scientists, engineers, researchers, policymakers, politicians, with one vision: to share the manifold work done to protect our oceans, give an insight into the technological developments required to discover life in the water; an insight into the struggles of transferring knowledge interdisciplinarily or getting important research into meaningful, impactful legislation. We will talk about ways and means to attract new talent, funds, and technology, and why it so so essential to explore the deep sea.

#09 Ute Brönner and Martin Visbeck — What are Digital Twins of the ocean and why do we need them?
I am welcoming Ute Brönner and Martin Visbeck, co-leaders of the UN Ocean Decade Programme DITTO, Digital Twins of the Ocean. Ute Brönner is a senior project manager at Sintef Ocean, a research institute in Norway, and Martin leads the Physical Oceanography department at the GEOMAR Institute for ocean research in Kiel, Germany. While their respective work and academic background is not necessarily the same, they have come together in the last years to advocate for an international, standardized and organised approach to designing digital twins of the ocean. In the episode we discuss exactly how their idea came to life, what their common work entails and most importantly what digital twins will be able to do as well as current barriers to their creation. This is a really fantastic and exciting topic, because digital twins really cover all aspects of ocean professions, from observations using robotics, scientific data analysis, high computational modelling and social sciencees. They could be a massively effective tool to help governments make smart decisions to mitigate worst effects of the climate crisis, allow us to look into a possible future before implementing actual technologies or inventions in marine and coastal areas and test hypothesis. Unfortunately, we had a lot of sound issues and both guest recordings weren’t perfectly editable, I hope you can overlook that and still enjoy the episode and these stellar guests! I am super honored Ute and Martin came on the show!
