About

The Longterm Climate Model is designed to explore the long-term impact of climate disturbances

  • Late 2022: Originally envisioned as a rewrite and refactoring of David Archer’s GEOCYC model, the development quickly takes on a life of its own as Longterm.

  • 2023 to Mid 2024: Isabel Horst and David Romps code up versions of the model in parallel: Isabel’s in Python and David’s in R. By the middle of 2024, the R and Python codes are synchronized and running.

  • Late 2024 to Early 2025: David Romps ports the R code to C++, packages it up for R and Python, and launches this web site.

  • Mid 2025: The model and paper are finished, a soft release of Longterm (version 0.0.1) is posted on CRAN and PyPI, and the paper is sent out for review.
