The aim of the Deep-Sea Resources Sigils is to be a daily scan focusing on the security and geopolitics of the deep sea.
Why deep-sea resources must be monitored and what is at stake can be found in the corresponding Sigils Brief.
We are currently investigating new AI ways to deliver an even better Deep Sea Resources Sigils. The original complimentary version ran from May 2012 to April 2023.
The Sigils are a series of scans exploring the horizon for weak signals related to various issues relevant to the security of societies, polities, nations and citizens.
