Model/Simulator: Milankovitch Orbital Parameters

Posted by on in Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics

A model/simulator to learn about changes in Earth’s climate caused by variations in the solar energy received by the planet over geological time scales and to understand the role of the orbital parameters (obliquity, precession, and eccentricity) in causing ice age cycles (Milankovitch cycles) on Earth.

Model/Simulator: Daisyworld—A Model to Explore the Gaia Hypothesis

Posted by on in Biological Sciences, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics
A model/simulator to explore the Gaia hypothesis and the concepts of albedo and hysteresis through the example of daisies (living organisms) and their interaction with temperature (climatic factor).
