Coastal Zone Digital Twin (CZ-DT) (CZ-DT)

The objective is to build, in collaboration with CNES and NOAA, an Earth System Digital Twin of local and regional coastal zones that considers both natural and human systems to understand changes in coastal flooding severity, land and marine morphology, nutrients and water quality, ecological makeup, sea level, and short and long-term risks to climate change adaptation, sustainable development, disaster management, tourism and recreation, quality of life, ecosystem management, and coastal infrastructure management.

Advance Earth system science knowledge through the identification, development, and demonstration of innovative information systems technologies

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
