Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator
Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator is a free, interactive learning demo from the Geology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Earth System Science, Greenhouse Effect, Paleoclimatology, Natural Hazards. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 sliders, 1 button and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Climate Change and Environmental Geology” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the “Solar Intensity 100%”, “CO₂ Concentration 420 ppm” sliders to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Use the “Feedback: ON” button to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Earth System Science
- Greenhouse Effect
- Paleoclimatology
- Natural Hazards
- Anthropogenic Impact
Frequently asked questions
What does the Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator demo do?
Temp: 15.0°C Albedo: 0.30 Ice Cover: 12% Adjust sliders to see how the Ice-Albedo feedback loop amplifies temperature changes. Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator lets you explore this hands-on instead of only reading about it.
What Geology concept does Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator teach?
Integrates geological principles to understand Earth's climate system and the environmental challenges posed by human-Earth interactions. It focuses on Earth System Science, Greenhouse Effect, Paleoclimatology, Natural Hazards, Anthropogenic Impact from the “Climate Change and Environmental Geology” section.
What can I control in Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator?
The “Solar Intensity 100%”, “CO₂ Concentration 420 ppm” sliders change the key inputs; the “Feedback: ON” button run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator fit into the Geology course?
Geology is the scientific study of the solid Earth, its composition, and the dynamic processes that shape it over time. This course provides a comprehensive exploration of Earth's materials, from the microscopic structu… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Climate Change and Environmental Geology” section.

What will I understand better after using Ice-Albedo Feedback Simulator?
You'll build intuition for Earth System Science, Greenhouse Effect, Paleoclimatology, Natural Hazards, Anthropogenic Impact — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Geology alone.
