Creating a Digital Twin of Earth

A groundbreaking project is underway to create a digital replica of Earth, called Earth-2, using vast amounts of data gathered from satellites and sensors. This model allows users to examine historical climate and environmental conditions at specific locations, dating back to 1972 or even further. For instance, one can look at their neighborhood in Austin, Texas, observing past foliage and climate data, such as air quality and weather patterns. This capability enables a granular understanding of how these factors have interacted over time and paves the way for predicting future outcomes with unprecedented accuracy.
