🔬 Accelerate Water Science

🌐 What Sets MAGNET Apart

MAGNET transforms the entire research cycle — from hypothesis to publication — into a globally connected, real-time interactive ecosystem for water science.

• 🧩 Models in a model: Simulate high-resolution local water networks while dynamically linking to broader system dynamics — capturing both site-specific detail and global context.
• 🌍 Global-scale data integration: Access a live-linked, preprocessed global water database with monitoring wells, stream gauges, and ultra-resolution LiDAR — eliminating manual data aggregation.
• 🤖 AI-assisted and human-in-the-loop analysis: Use predictive AI to identify patterns and forecast outcomes — while retaining full control to refine models and apply expert judgment.
• 📊 Interactive and dynamic visualization: Convert model outputs into real-time, high-impact 3D visualizations and animations — ideal for publication, presentations, and stakeholder engagement.
• 📄 Seamless collaboration and publication: Instantly generate reports and publish models to secure or public cyber-enabled observatories — streamlining validation, peer review, and open science.
• ☁️ Cloud-native and browser-based: No software to install. Access and collaborate securely from anywhere, anytime.

⚠️ Pain Points and MAGNET Solutions

1. Time-Consuming and Manual Data Collection

The Problem: Data gathering and integration slow down research and compromise model accuracy.

MAGNET’s Solution: Instantly access global datasets, LiDAR terrain, and monitoring networks. AI-assisted cleaning ensures high-quality inputs and faster project starts.

2. Scaling Research from Local Detail to Global Context

The Problem: Modeling both local and regional dynamics is computationally demanding and logistically complex.

MAGNET’s Solution: Use “models in a model” to zoom into local systems while maintaining global connectivity — enabling multiscale analysis and emergent behavior discovery.

3. Limited Collaboration and Difficult Sharing of Dynamic Outputs

The Problem: Static reports and fragmented tools hinder validation, reproducibility, and open science.

MAGNET’s Solution: Publish live models, reports, and visualizations to cyber observatories — enabling real-time interaction, peer validation, and collaborative advancement.

💰 Strategic Value

By eliminating the most time-consuming and data-intensive aspects of traditional water research, MAGNET dramatically accelerates discovery, validation, and deployment — enabling researchers to translate their work into real-world applications faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.
