Process-complete models of planetary evolution.
A coherent, systematic framework for simulating how planets evolve, and the ensembles to test those models against planetary and exoplanetary data.
The approach
A new paradigm for planetary modelling.
In an era of observationally-driven discovery, interpreting JWST and the next generation of exoplanet data needs models that are open, evolutionary, and aware of their own uncertainties. Interra provides the abiotic baseline against which the search for signs of life should be tested.
Evolutionary
Planets are modelled as time-evolving systems, not static snapshots, capturing the hysteresis that static structural solves miss.
Process-complete
Interior, atmosphere, escape, and orbital processes are coupled in one framework, making explicit which physics and chemistry matter, and when.
The engine
Built on the PROTEUS framework.
Interra's model ensembles are produced with PROTEUS, an open-source framework that couples interior, atmosphere, outgassing, escape, and orbital evolution into a single time-evolving solve. New physics and chemistry are added inside the framework, tested, and documented in the open.
