Features
Everything you need to see the full picture
Cassandra synthesizes peer-reviewed data across nine destabilizing earth system chains, traces the connections between them, and presents the unified picture for the people who need to act on it.
Real-time monitoring
Live data feeds from peer-reviewed sources tracking all nine earth system chains. Not news headlines. Primary data. Updated continuously.
Live data dashboard for all nine chains
One unified dashboard tracking ocean circulation, permafrost, coral reefs, pollinators, forests, rivers, ice sheets, weather patterns, and food systems. Each chain has its own detail view with the underlying datasets clearly cited.
Peer-reviewed source integration
Cassandra ingests data from NOAA, NASA, IPCC, OSNAP, and the canonical peer-reviewed sources for each chain. Where a discipline relies on a specific authoritative dataset, that is the dataset we use.
Historical data
131 years of NOAA data for weather and ocean signals, plus the longest available historical records for every other chain. Long-baseline data shows the trajectory, not just the snapshot.
Trend visualization with confidence intervals
Every projection ships with its uncertainty range. Where the science is established, we say so. Where it is projected, we say so. Where it is speculative, we say so.
Cross-chain analysis
The part no one else maps. When one chain shifts, what happens to the others? Cassandra traces the cascading effects.
Cascading effect mapping
When ocean temperatures rise, what happens to coral, fisheries, weather, and food systems downstream? Cassandra maps the cascading effects from any chain to every other chain that depends on it.
Tipping point proximity indicators
For each chain, Cassandra shows current state relative to known tipping points reported in the peer-reviewed literature. When a chain crosses a threshold, the proximity changes visibly across every dependent chain.
Feedback loop identification
Some loops amplify (warmer permafrost releases methane, warmer climate thaws more permafrost). Some dampen. Cassandra surfaces the loops the science has identified and shows which ones are currently dominant.
Multi-chain scenario modeling
Run scenarios across multiple chains at once. If AMOC weakens by 51% and Arctic sea ice loss accelerates, what does the combined effect look like for the jet stream, monsoon timing, and North Atlantic fisheries?
Intelligence products
For the people who need to act on this. Different audiences need different framings of the same underlying data.
Synthesized briefings
Audience-specific briefings. Scientific briefings preserve technical precision. Policy briefings translate uncertainty into decision frameworks. Public briefings explain what is happening and what it means in everyday terms. Every briefing draws from the same sourced data underneath.
Alert system
Subscribe to notifications for threshold crossings, acceleration events, and new peer-reviewed findings that materially change a chain's trajectory. Choose your chains, choose your sensitivity, get the signal without the noise.
Export for reports, presentations, and publications
Export charts, tables, and synthesized summaries with full source citations attached. Suitable for journal submissions, policy memos, classroom decks, and newsroom briefings.
API access for researchers and institutions Roadmap
Programmatic access to the synthesized cross-chain dataset. For research groups building on the synthesis, institutions running their own dashboards, and educational platforms integrating real-time earth systems data into curricula.
Accessibility and communication
A climate scientist should find Cassandra rigorous. A high school student should find it understandable. A governor should find it actionable. Same content, all three audiences, because clarity serves everyone.
Plain-language summaries alongside technical data
Every visualization and every dataset comes with a plain-language summary that explains what the chart shows, what the trend means, and what the uncertainty looks like. Toggle between technical and plain-language modes without leaving the page.
Visualization designed for screen readers
Charts ship with structured text alternatives, data tables, and ARIA descriptions. Trends, ranges, and key inflection points are described in prose, not just rendered as pixels. Designed for assistive technology from the first wireframe.
Multi-language support Roadmap
The earth systems Cassandra monitors do not respect borders, and neither should our communication. Localized translations for the synthesized briefings are on the roadmap, beginning with Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Mandarin.
Educational mode for classrooms and public engagement Roadmap
A guided mode designed for high school and undergraduate classrooms, libraries, and museums. Same data, scaffolded explanations, with discussion prompts grounded in the underlying science.
