About this project
WhenEarth is an interactive 3D globe that lets you scrub through 750 million years of Earth's history — watch continents drift, ice sheets advance and retreat, and climate shift across deep time.
I'm a data scientist who started this in June 2025. It took about ten months of texture rendering, climate-curve fitting from peer-reviewed sources, and a lot of late nights to get every period scientifically grounded. It's free, has no ads, and runs out of my home lab.

If WhenEarth taught you something, made you curious, or you just enjoyed scrubbing through the Cretaceous for fun, a coffee helps cover hosting and keeps me building. Next on the roadmap: mass-extinction overlays, sharper CO₂/temperature visualizations, and more paleogeographic detail.
