SCIENCE 3.0
Is a new vision

of the ocean in sight?

Experts explored using digital technology such as 3D visualisation to transform

scientific research during a workshop at Monaco Ocean Week.

Incorporating advances in technology into scientific
research has led to an explosion in oceanographic The CIESM and Monaco Scientific Centre signed a framework

and their role in facilitating the interpretation of
scientific data, held from 19 to 21 March 2024 as
part of Monaco Ocean Week. Creating 3D maps and
high-resolution marine data visualisations are just
some of the possibilities open to researchers, who
are increasingly hopeful of capturing the ocean in
all its complexity. Could this be the dawn of a new
understanding of this cryptic environment?
