earthsciencekit: Earth-System Models in Python#
EarthScienceKit makes the equations behind 9 Earth-science domains computable, inspectable and visualizable. Choose a domain to explore its history, run its examples and inspect its API. NumPy and SciPy provide the numerical foundations; this package connects them to Earth-system concepts.
Browse by domain#
Solid Earth
Euler plate motion, spreading, subduction, isostasy, flexure and lithosphere cooling.
Elastic wave speeds, reflection, seismic moment, source pulses and damped response.
Radiometric dating, isotope and trace-element geochemistry, magma viscosity and ascent, ground deformation and eruption columns.
Gravity anomalies, the figure of the Earth, the geoid, the geomagnetic field, paleomagnetism and the dynamo.
Fluid Earth and Climate
Hydrostatic balance, dry thermodynamics, moisture, rotation and parcel ascent.
Radiative balance, forcing, heat storage, carbon baselines and climate adjustment.
Tides, waves, seawater density, geostrophy, the Ekman spiral, wind-driven gyres and thermohaline boxes.
Catchment water balance, Darcy and Dupuit groundwater flow, Theis wells, infiltration, open channels, unit hydrographs, flood routing and evaporation.
Glen’s flow law, plastic and shallow-ice profiles, sliding, crevasses, mass balance, sea-ice growth, postglacial rebound, ice-core dating and marine grounding lines.

Quickstart introduces the API. Numerical methods and sampled results explains sampled histories and solver choices. The model guides give equations, units, conventions and applicability limits. Validation policy documents the evidence behind this release and Scope and limitations describes its scope.
