Environmental / ecosystem monitoring. temperature levels / air quality. modelling specific regions vs global modelling

  • Talk about pollution, global warming
  • Inspired from Second Life, largescale weather-based model - has this been finished??

Pros:

  • Relevant and applicable
  • Can do something that can't see easily in the real world because too big and too slow
  • Could do something with displaying raw data from Netlogo and then work with graphing, stats, or something similar
    • Could compare this to a big experiment by one of the national labs or similar - see if your results follow the same trend as the national lab's

Cons:

  • Kind of vague, needs more details
  • Difficult to see this change in real world, difficult to validate

Comments:

  • Existing Netlogo model similar to this (climate change model)
  • Nice to find someone else's large scale model and then replicate
