The EmberFactory ▶ Start app
The purpose of this application is to (re)produce burning ember diagrams of the style used in IPCC reports. The Ember Factory takes standardised Excel sheets describing color transitions as input. It produces quality figures in PDF format, editable with vector-drawing software if needed. Excel sheets may include a set of parameters describing the layout of figures so as to minimise the need for editing.
- The current version is 2.0.3: climrisk.org/emberfactory
- In the unlikely event of problems with the current version, you may try a previous one (1.6): climrisk.org/emberfactory-old.
- This app was updated on 8 January 2024. Improvements are listed here. When there are known issues, they are listed here.
The Ember Elicitation Desk (beta) ▶ Start app
The Ember Elicitation Desk is a tool to facilitate structured expert elicitation to illustrate climate change risks through "burning embers" diagrams. This version is still a pre-release (beta), but it reproduces a diagram from a past expert elicitation process and we hope that it is useful in its current form.
- The current version is 0.3 (January 2024): climrisk.org/emberelicitation
- Feedback would be very appreciated and could help guide future development
Maintenance
No maintenance time is planed (last update: 2024/03).
Other applications
The "ember drawing" part of the EmberFactory is now available as a separate library/API: EmberMaker, available as python package on PyPI with examples including how it can be used within R provided on FramaGit.
There is another app in development... more news in the course of 2024!
About this website
This website was created to host application(s) related to climate change research in an independent way with limited burden and without user-tracking by commercial platforms. If you need to host such an application and look for a server, you may contact philippe.marbaix@uclouvain.be for possible cooperation. Some information on how the current app works is provided here.
