Drones and Digital Twins to Monitor Permafrost Thaw

Researchers propose using drones and digital twins to track the permafrost thaw and its impact on Arctic infrastructure.

The permafrost thaw poses a significant threat to Arctic infrastructure, which was built on frozen ground. Researchers are exploring the use of drones and digital twins to monitor the thaw and its effects. This approach would involve creating a virtual replica of the infrastructure, which would be updated in real-time with data from drones and sensors.
