Gordon S. Blair
Abstract
Digital twins emerged in the field of engineering but are now being applied in many areas of study. This article reflects on the enormous potential of digital twins of the natural environment and proposes an approach that builds on the massive legacy of process model understanding in this area combined with new insights from data understanding, including from AI/machine learning.
