This is the repository for Hector, an open source, object-oriented, simple global climate carbon-cycle model that runs very quickly while still representing the most critical global scale earth system processes. Hector is a simple climate model (SCM, also known as a reduced-complexity climate model), a class of models that are extremely versatile with a wide range of applications. Due to their computational efficiency, SCMs can easily be coupled to other models and used to design scenarios, emulate more complex climate models, and conduct uncertainty analyses.
