Popis: Carbon-cycle modelling is essential for testing the main carbon sources and sinks as climate forcings, and we introduce and describe GEOCARB_NET, a graphical user interface for the geologic carbon and sulfur cycle model GEOCARBSULFvolc. The software system is menu-driven, user-friendly, and the user is never far removed from the basic input parameters from which atmospheric CO2 and O2 concentrations can be derived. GEOCARB_NET is supplied with several published models and the user can easily test and refine these models with different parametrizations. GEOCARB_NET also contains libraries of models and proxy data, which easily can be compared with each other. Our examples focus on how to use GEOCARB_NET in the context of Phanerozoic climate change and highlights how certain key input parameters can seriously affect reconstructed CO2 levels.
