The DREAM initiative, in sync with the UN’s Ocean Decade and Digital DEPTH, targets deep-sea habitats like seamounts and ridges.
It seeks to boost observation tech, streamline data processing, and innovate with AI for accurate seafloor mapping. DREAM’s goals include:
- Enhancing observation systems with underwater vehicles for detailed deep-sea monitoring;
- Building a data fusion platform using global and local data to craft AI tools;
- Setting up a standardized platform for versatile habitat mapping;
- Offering public services like ocean modeling.
The outcomes will enrich public knowledge and marine science.
