## 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.
