Short summary
Coral reefs and limestones hold crucial records of Earth's climate history, but scientists have lacked accessible tools to simulate how these systems form over thousands to millions of years. We developed CarboKitten, free software that models how tropical sediments and associated organisms grow under changing sea levels and environmental conditions. The program runs fast on standard computers and can test scientific theories about how these geological features preserve the Earth's history.
