My name is Héctor Delgado, I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Washington. I work with Dr. Rory Barnes using an open source code called VPLanet to simulate how planetary, stellar, dynamic and many other physical properties affect habitability for exoplanetary systems. </div><div><br></div><div>VPLanet contains various physical modules and one of them is an energy balance model. We are trying to update our land distribution for modern Earth in our code and I wanted to know if we could use MIT GCM 1 degree resolution of the modern Earth land distribution? Our code is 1 dimensional so I will bin it from 3D to 1D and if we were to use I will gladly cite you on the papers that we use it.
