They are using a digital twin to understand climate impacts and preserve their culture.\r\n\r\nNine islands make up Tuvalu, home to more than 10,000 people and situated halfway between Australia and Hawaii. The country\u2014on the forefront of climate action\u2014changed its constitution to declare it would always be a nation, even if its islands are no longer inhabitable.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe are looking at setting up the world\u2019s first digital nation because we are facing the real risk of our land disappearing,\" said Tuvalu\u2019s foreign minister Simon Kofe, standing knee-deep in water while addressing the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (COP26)\u00a0in 2021.\r\n\r\nDigital twins come to life with a combination of imagery and geographic information system (GIS) technology. With the digital twin, decision-makers can analyze details about a place, its people, and the environment. The 3D model serves as both a record and a platform to navigate incidents and changes. It also provides a means to experience the place within virtual reality headsets.\r\n\r\nKofe\u2019s speech, and the country\u2019s commitment to digitize itself in case it disappears, puts the world on alert about the vulnerability of island nations. Many others, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/blog\/grenada-digital-twin-climate-change\">including Grenada<\/a>, have adopted similar reality-capture techniques to face a changing environment and record what makes them unique.\r\n<h3><strong>Capturing the Whole of a Vulnerable Nation<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nTuvalu is experiencing many climate hardships, including areas perpetually underwater, saltwater intrusion into drinking water, and coral bleaching. Because the depth of the ocean drops off deeply around the islands, the shores aren\u2019t susceptible to huge waves. But the islands have experienced cyclones, which erode shorelines and destroy homes. With the digital twin, Tuvalu can assess the dimensions of these ongoing challenges.\r\n\r\nThe first step is to collect location-specific data and regularly update it so changes can be measured. In September 2023, on the sides of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York, and with the support of the \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spc.int\/\">Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalearthpacific.org\/\">Digital Earth Pacific (DEP) program<\/a>, the nonprofit <a href=\"https:\/\/thisisplace.org\/\">PLACE<\/a> signed an agreement with the Prime Minister of Tuvalu to collect detailed data for the total land area of 26 square kilometers.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Digital Earth Pacific program enables decision-making for the Pacific Peoples through the use of earth observations. PLACE data enhances the program by providing highly detailed and accurate images that support Pacific nations in addressing climate change, food security, and disasters,\u201d said Stuart Minchin, director-general of SPC.\r\n\r\nIn April 2024, the PLACE team was in the remote nation and collected images of Funafuti, the country's capital.\u00a0 They used a drone to capture aerial images and a spherical camera mounted to a truck to capture street-level views. This sensor pod camera with five lenses on the sides and top can also be attached to a backpack for capturing areas that can only be reached on foot."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[704542,704602,704562,704572,704672]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"PLACE's imagery data is processed to create 2D and 3D data products using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/arcgis\/products\/arcgis-reality\/overview\">ArcGIS Reality<\/a>, a suite of photogrammetry software products designed to enable reality capture workflows for sites, cities, and countries. The GIS tools match large groups of images taken by cameras along the many flights and routes. This set of imagery data works together inside GIS to create a precise 3D model.\r\n\r\nThe resulting immersive basemap forms the foundation of a digital twin. From there, the team can add an inventory of data about physical assets, trees, houses, and infrastructure. Within the digital twin, they use the artificial intelligence (AI) technique called machine learning to automatically extract details from the images, such as building outlines and changes to the shoreline.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe most exciting thing for us is what\u2019s possible with machine learning and desktop computers now,\u201d said Frank Pichel, partner and global field operations lead at PLACE. \u201cThe conversations we were having a year ago versus now are a world apart.\u201d\r\n\r\nWith the digital twin, a flood model can be automatically created and overlaid with a population map. This awareness helps leaders assess changing conditions, engage residents in the crisis, and help everyone make informed decisions about their future."},{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","gallery_images":[704622,704102,704092,703992]},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3><strong>Heightening Pressures in Low-Lying Areas<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nOn every full moon when the highest king tide hits, the tarmac on the runway of Tuvalu\u2019s only airport floats away from its coral base.
