Deltares’ Post

🌍 We are happy to announce that Deltares, together with Made Smart Group BV and 510 - The Netherlands Red Cross' data & digital team, will be deploying 3 pilot services to Destination Earth (DestinE) - the European Union’s ambitious initiative to create a highly accurate Digital Twin of Earth. 🔹 Global forecasts of storm surge, tide, and currents (core service) 🔹 Forecasting compound flood impacts in the Philippines 🔹 Optimising global shipping routes Our core service builds on Deltares’ Global Tide and Surge Model (GTSM) and Global Storm Surge Information System (GLOSSIS), integrated into the DestinE platform. The Philippines project builds on previous work where we, alongside KNMI - Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, TECNALIA Research & Innovation, SURFACE LIBRE), and 510 - The Netherlands Red Cross' data & digital team, demonstrated how high-resolution global weather forecasts can help mitigate flooding in vulnerable areas. This effort contributes to one of the Deltares’ ambitions: making the world’s population safer from flooding. Kun Yan, Senior Researcher in Coastal Flood Forecasting at Deltares: “We are very excited to continue working with European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts - ECMWF and contribute to the ambitious Destination Earth program!” Thanks to: Kun Yan, Albrecht Weerts, Björn Backeberg, Frederiek Sperna Weiland, Tammo Zijlker, Floortje Roelvink, Tycho Bovenschen, @ Willem Tromp. #EnablingDeltaLife #DestinationEarth #FloodResilience #ClimateAction #SustainableFuture
