Project description
Digital Ocean twin for preserving our oceans
The increasing frequency and severity of climate change-related effects on our ecosystems and environments, as well as the growing danger of climate disasters and catastrophes, have made the preservation, mitigation, and protection of our oceans crucial. The EU-funded EU-INTERCHANGE project will develop an innovative Digital Ocean twin encompassing ocean, wave, biogeochemistry, and nearshore models that will allow for monitoring and evaluating the impact of climate change throughout the Pan-Arctic and European regions. Further, the solution will utilise novel indicators to monitor marine ecosystem health, growth, and resilience. Specialised models will assess adaptation and mitigation solutions and strategies. Finally, a variety of other tools and databases will provide easy access to decision-making assistance and advanced monitoring tools.
Objective
The EU-INTERCHANGE project aims to create a Digital Ocean Twin encompassing wave, ocean, biogeochemistry, and nearshore models to evaluate Climate Change impacts across Europe and the Pan-Arctic region. Customized models will be developed to assess mitigation and adaptation strategies, focusing on coastal resilience, impacts of Sea Level Rise, and Blue Economy sectors such as aquaculture and marine renewables. Indicators for marine ecosystem health, blue growth, coastal resilience and societal impacts of Climate Change will be formulated, and used in unique fully automated tools. A large ensemble database spanning from 1995 to 2100, including emission scenarios SSP1 (2.6°C) and SSP2 (4.5°C) using CMIP6 data, will be developed, optimized per European Basin and scale, for all European Seas and the Arctic region. A transparent fully open-source automated service for statistical analysis and reporting will be released to aid decision-making for various stakeholders and applications like coastal protection, marine renewables, food, and tourism. Furthermore, an automated dynamic and statistical downscaling tool will be developed, requiring minimal user expertise but offering the potential for higher fidelity data (<500m), for coastal areas that require further analysis. The novel datasets, both hindcast and forecasts, will seamlessly integrate into COPERNICUS and be openly accessible along with model configurations, fostering collaborative research and informed decision-making regarding Climate Change impacts on marine environments.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
