Carbon Cycle & Climate Models
by Anonymous
Compare the sizes of the carbon reservoirs and change the level of emissions cuts to see how far the temperatures of 2050 and 2100 diverge.

About this app
Carbon Cycle & Climate Model is an interactive high-school Earth science learning app about carbon reservoirs, the greenhouse effect, and climate scenarios. Compare approximate carbon stored in the atmosphere, ocean, land, and fossil fuels; then adjust CO₂ concentration, mitigation strength, and target year to see how the model’s temperature outcomes differ. Mission-based activities guide learners through key comparisons, including projected warming in 2050 and 2100.
Use cases
- High-school Earth science students learning the carbon cycle
- Teachers demonstrating carbon reservoirs and greenhouse warming
- Learners comparing CO₂ levels and their modeled temperature effects
- Classroom activities about mitigation choices and future climate scenarios
Features
- Interactive tabs for carbon reservoirs, greenhouse effect, and climate scenarios
- Reservoir selector showing approximate stored carbon in GtC
- CO₂ level comparison at 280 ppm, 420 ppm, and 550 ppm
- Mitigation and target-year controls for 2050 and 2100 scenarios
- Mission-based prompts with reset and next controls
- Visual diagrams for stored carbon, trapped heat, and temperature rise
