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.
