Nobody Applied to this call ! Follow up by Keith Beven

 Keith Beven (GS), answered to my previous post and I think it is relevant to bring to the knowledge of everyone his point of view: 

"Dear Riccardo,

 

This is clearly something I have been interested in for a long time – in fact I was writing about models of everywhere long before digital twins became the parlance to use.

 

I attach some papers that you have not cited but would seem to be relevant. "

He also added in a second mail:

"I should perhaps have added that if you look at those papers you will see that I think there is one really important innovation associated with models of everywhere that carries over to the digital twins (where the latter is applied at appropriate scales) and that is the use of visualisations in testing models as hypotheses – including the use of information from local stakeholders.    You gain little from applying models at hyperresolution when hyperresolution is 1km for example (see the hyperresolution ignorance paper).   "
