Simulate the coupled interior-atmosphere evolution of rocky planets over deep time.
Named after the Greek god of sea change, PROTEUS is flexible and adaptable; it can foretell the future, but answers only to those who ask the right questions.
PROTEUS is an open-source framework that couples models of planetary interiors, atmospheres, chemistry, and orbital dynamics to simulate how rocky planets evolve from molten beginnings to potentially habitable worlds.
