Earth Evolution Modelling Group

We are a research group working on the evolution of Earth’s surface conditions over the planetary lifetime. We develop computer models to investigate how the planet’s climate and the chemical composition of the atmosphere and oceans has changed over time, and to explore what has driven these changes

The SCION model

SCION is a prototype climate-biogeochemical model which can run over geological timescales. The ‘spatial continuous integration’ approach uses a large data structure of climate model runs, and interpolates this in space and time, taking account of the changing configuration of the continents, and other land surface properties. The model allows us to investigate how the biosphere has altered Earth’s climate and vice-versa.
