Environmental Science Simulations — Free Interactive
Free interactive environmental science simulations: climate modeling, the carbon cycle, renewable energy, biodiversity, and pollution. Explore the systems.
Biodiversity Simulator — Species & Ecosystems
Explore biodiversity indices and species richness by adjusting habitat area, fragmentation, and disturbance to see how ecosystems maintain or lose biological diversity.
Carbon Cycle — Atmospheric CO₂ & Reservoirs
Simulate the global carbon cycle by adjusting emission rates and land-use changes to track CO₂ flows between atmosphere, oceans, soils, and vegetation reservoirs.
Climate Modeling — Temperature & Feedback Loops
Simulate global mean temperature response to greenhouse gas forcing using an energy-balance climate model with adjustable feedback parameters and emission scenarios.
Conservation Biology — Population Viability
Model endangered species population viability by setting carrying capacity, reproduction rates, and stochastic threats to estimate extinction risk and recovery time.
Ecosystem Dynamics — Predator-Prey Cycles
Simulate Lotka-Volterra predator-prey population dynamics by adjusting growth rates and predation parameters to explore population oscillations and stability.
Pollution Dispersion — Air & Water Contaminants
Model pollution dispersion in air and water by setting emission source strength, wind speed, and diffusivity to map contaminant concentration plumes over space and time.
Renewable Energy — Solar, Wind & Grid Mix
Simulate renewable energy generation from solar and wind sources, manage battery storage, and balance a grid with variable demand and clean energy targets.
Water Treatment — Purification Process Simulator
Simulate municipal water treatment stages — coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection — and adjust chemical doses to meet drinking water quality standards.
Watershed Pollution — Runoff & Nutrient Loading
Model watershed nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff by adjusting land use, fertilizer application, and riparian buffers to predict stream nitrogen and phosphorus loads.
