Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a research model and provide new avenues and value producing opportunities. It is the process of moving towards digital research approaches and adopting practically more useful business models. Copernicus already have different approaches which doesn’t cover well, different aspects of the Deep Ocean due to vast expanse of the oceans and limited financial resources. This is the reason our understandings about the deep oceans are lagging behind and we urgently in need of transformation to digital technologies in this context, such as Digital Twins of the Oceans, Geo-machines, Marine Spatial Planning are few venues to be named here. Hence, this paper from Copernicus community with the title “”Marine CDR Integrated with Digital Twins of the Deep Ocean and Spatial Data” is an approach, which can support all other approaches and support other science interventions and impacts to enhance the applicability of databases and authenticity of the digital simulations. Most of the data available now is also in different forms and it need to be organized/harmonized in digital formats to utilize for further research works related to Blue Economy. R & D organizations working in this context can get the benefits of this approach hence it can generate great commercial values for the Copernicus community, countries and global stakeholders. As far as environment concerns are taken into account, we may predict impacts of deep sea mining, ocean warming and other invasive activities such as mCDR, shipping, fishing, solarization, floating wind turbines and land wastes dumping in the oceans. To cut short, this approach is not only an addition to our endeavors towards better understanding of the Blue World but a necessity to accelerate our research process with the applications of digital transformation resources.
