Research loop

  • Observe

    Sensor grids, drones, and field sampling feed real-time understanding of waterways.

  • Model

    The AI Meadowlands Digital Twin tests scenarios before we ever touch the water.

  • Prototype

    Floating wetlands, robots, and autonomous systems are built in controlled pilots.

  • Measure and Adapt

    Data loops back into the twin and informs the next iteration of the restoration network.
