Earth at 45 Obliquity

If you ever wanted a temperate world, I guess this is it.

I'll be doing some travelling in July; the models should keep running and should automatically send me email updates, but I won't be ...

Earth at 30 Obliquity

Running this one first from Baseline, then 45 after it, and then I'll turn around and do the lower-obliquity ones. 

Earth at 60 obliquity

A world where it's always a nice day for a swim

Earth at 75 degrees obliquity

I was surprised it wasn't more different from the 90 degrees one (I didn't even need to adjust the pCO2 to get the same average temperature) but we'll see how the temperature maps end up comparing....

Earth at 90 Degrees Obliquity

I figured that an early look at some of these climate maps might be a nice patreon perk. This is at an average temp of 15 C, I should also have some cooler ones with ice belts ready for the eventua...

Climate Explorations: Temperature

First post in a new series, using ExoPlaSim to explore a range of different possible climates.

Update to Part IVa

Just a note that I've done a fairly substantial update to Part IVa, with a lot more information on the specific outcomes of planet formation and limits of different types of orbits for both planets...

Geology and Landforms: Erosion and Deposition

Modelling Climate with ExoPlaSim

Update on Part II

I've done another update, on Part II. Again, highlights 2021-09-08 20:17:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Update to Part I

Just a little notice that, as I've been hinting at, I've started working on updating the formatting of old posts, and incorporating some new sources; and I've just now update Part I (on Time and Pl...

Part VIIa: Geology and Landforms: Tectonics and Volcanism

Includes an overview of mountains, rifts, island arcs, volcanoes, and more. I know this one's been a while, thanks for the patience. The next couple hopefully shouldn't take as long, and I've got p...

Part VId: Climate: Tidal-Locked Planets

I just realized I put in the part number wrong, oops.

Part VIc: Climate: Climate Zones of Exotic Worlds

Update to the Climate Tutorial

Just letting everyone know that Steps 5, 6, and 7 of the climate tutorial--regarding winds, precipitation, and marking climate zones--have all been overhauled with a new method that's a little more...
