Dataset Summary

Extreme_Environment_Generator is a large synthetic dataset produced by a configurable Python simulator. It generates multi-sensor time-series data from extreme physical environments inspired by:

  • deep-Earth subsurface
  • subsea environments beneath oceans
  • deep ice-world and icy-planet structures

Each generated scenario includes:

  • the true physical state of the environment over time
  • corrupted/noisy sensor measurements
  • layer and material profiles
  • environmental configuration
  • rare failure events
  • scenario-level summary statistics

The dataset is designed for machine learning research, including:

  • multivariate forecasting
  • sensor fusion
  • anomaly and rare-event detection
  • robustness testing under noise, drift, and missing data
  • reinforcement learning in extreme synthetic environments
  • foundation model pretraining for time series

Environments

1. Deep Subsurface

A high-pressure, high-temperature environment inspired by Earth’s crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
Includes 5 fixed layers from 0 km to 6371 km depth.

2. Subsea

Includes water, sediment, and crust layers, followed by deep subsurface structure.
Lower temperatures and pressures in early depth stages, transitioning to mantle-like profiles.

3. Ice World

Inspired by icy moons and exoplanets.
Includes multi-kilometer ice shells, ice–rock transition, and deep interior structure.

All three environments use the same schema, allowing direct cross-environment comparison.
