Welcome to MOAI’s documentation!

MOAI (Magma Ocean-Atmosphere Interface) is a thermo-chemical evolution model for magma ocean crystallization and atmosphere outgassing, developed by Maxime Maurice and used in Maurice et al., 202X. As its name suggests, it is an interface. It is both an interface between magma oceans and atmospheres, where a lot of interesting physics happens, and a python interface, which lets you model this physics on your laptop.

Feel free to use it and extend it, and don’t forget to cite the paper!
