How do I simulate a coastal erosion?

Open this page and use the live Carbon Footprint Suite tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.

Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.

Can I use my own numbers?

Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a coastal erosion from your own measurements.

Diet

Your carbon footprint is the sum of the greenhouse gases your lifestyle emits each year. The big levers are usually flying, driving, home energy, and diet. The global average is about 4.7 tonnes per person, but a livable-planet target is closer to 2 tonnes. Estimates use typical emission factors and will vary by region.

Governing equation

E_{t o t a l} = i \sum a_{i} f_{i} = 1.9 + 2.3 + 2.0 + 2.5 = 8.7 t CO_{2} /yr

Reading this result: Diet is your single biggest slice at 2.5 t of the 8.7 t total, so that is where a cut moves the needle most — one long-haul flight can outweigh a whole year of driving.

Emissions (GtC/yr)

Carbon moves between four great reservoirs — atmosphere, surface ocean, deep ocean, and biosphere — through exchange fluxes. Add fossil emissions to the atmosphere box and watch how slowly the oceans and land can draw it back down. The deep ocean is huge but exchanges slowly.

Governing equation

\frac{d C _{a t m}}{d t} = E - F_{a s} - F_{ab} = 10.0 - 6.8 - - 3.6 GtC/yr

Reading this result: At 10 GtC/yr the surface ocean and biosphere buffer part of the input, but they saturate, so atmospheric CO₂ keeps drifting upward rather than settling.

About this simulation

The full Carbon Footprint Suite tool models a coastal erosion with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
