Environmental Modelling Hub

Learn how
environmental
systems behave.

This is the Wayward House home for environmental modelling: a connected path through maths for modelling, earth systems, GIS, hazards, and human geography, with deeper specialist libraries when you want to branch out.

Navigating the Hub
Best Place To Begin
Start Here
Start with Getting Started if you want the shortest route into the core modelling sequence.
What You’ll Cover
Complete Sequence
Spatial models, earth systems, GIS logic, environmental hazards, trade and infrastructure, and the maths that ties them together.
How To Use It
One Main Route
Start with Getting Started, stay on the core route until it feels natural, and only branch into specialist libraries when you have a reason to.

How The Hub Works

One main route, a few later branches

The goal is to reduce choice at the start, not multiply it. Begin with the on-ramp, continue into the core book, and treat the other doors as later branches rather than parallel starting points.

01
Getting Started
Get oriented fast: how to read equations, think about scale, and approach the subject without getting lost in the machinery.

Build The Full Environmental Modelling Spine
Work through the main sequence from mathematical foundations into earth systems, GIS, hazards, and economic geography.

Go Deeper By Subject
Remote sensing, cryosphere, machine learning, and economic systems are organised as specialist branches rather than scattered side notes.

Open The Laboratory
Use the laboratory for integrated investigations and more demanding modelling problems after the core path has traction.
