World Multimedia Mercury Model (WorM-cube)

This model allows for estimation of the global multimedia fate and transport of mercury on spatial (15^o x 15^o) and unit-world scales. Files below are in .rar format.  ALL files required to run any particular simulation are inside the respective .rar archive.

1. Spatially resolved global multimedia model (WorM³)
2. Unit-world variant of WorM³ (Unit-WorM³)
3. Monte Carlo analysis of Unit-WorM³

Software requirements:

MATLAB and MS EXCEL.  For (3) above, Crystal Ball is also required.
