FABM (Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models)
- 15 October 2025
The Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM) is a Fortran 2003 programming framework for biogeochemical models of marine and freshwater systems. It acts as match maker between a wide range of hydrodynamic and biogeochemical models, developed by research groups all over the world.
GLUES (Global Land Use and technological Evolution Simulator)
- 16 May 2024
The Global Land Use and technological Evolution Simulator (GLUES) is an Earth system component of land use intensity and demography. GLUES mathematically resolves the dynamics of local human populations´ density and characteristic sociocultural traits in the context of a changing biogeographical environment. A local sociocultural coevolution is described by changes in mean population density, technology, share of agropastoral activities, and economic diversity, within a simulation region of approximately country-size extent. Each local population utilises its regional resources, which are describey by vegetation productivity and climatic constraints. Each local population interacts with its geographical neighbours via trade and migration.
