Modules

A growing library of Earth systems you can interact with.

3D Globe

Rotate and zoom a textured Earth with real satellite imagery and data overlays.

ENSO Cycle

Watch El Niño and La Niña form and propagate across the Pacific in real time.

Ocean Dynamics

Cross-sectional views of ocean temperature, salinity, and current patterns.

Climate Data

Interactive graphs of CO₂, temperature trends, and seasonal climate patterns.

Layer Visualization

Toggle atmospheric, hydrologic, and biological layers to see system interactions.

Classroom mode

Presenter controls synced to student devices for whole-class exploration.

Built for APES classrooms

This is the first in a growing library of simulations. Each one focuses on the systems AP students need to understand. Planned: nutrient cycles, weather patterns, and biome dynamics.
