FloodRanger World is an extension to FloodRanger and enables you to create a FloodRanger game for anywhere in the world. FloodRanger itself has been used in many different countries throughout the world by government departments, non-government organisations, universities, engineering companies.

FloodRanger World gives you the opportunity to introduce your own data for your own area of interest, therefore finding strategies to cope with real-life flooding.

This version will enable flood defence practitioners, local authorities, universities and schools to create more realistic scenarios to help with flood management in a practical way. The game allows ideas to be tested out in virtual worlds before millions of pounds are spent in the real world.

CoastRanger Management Simulator has been designed to explain the consequences that different management approaches have on coastal processes, natural environments and flood and coastal erosion risk.  The software highlights the range of interests that need to be balanced on the coast and demonstrates the difficult decisions that have to be made in some areas.  CoastRanger MS simulates typical real world scenarios and provides information on management approaches, defence types, coastal behaviour and legislation.  The software is intended to appeal to a wide range of audiences including:

SimCoast is a fuzzy logic rule-based expert system designed to enable researchers, managers and decision-makers to create and evaluate different policy scenarios for coastal zone management.  It is interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral. It aims to combine traditional and advanced specialist knowledge about coastal zones with a set of reasoning and analytical tools.  Experts involved include engineers, natural and social scientists, law-makers, administrators, community and national leaders.  Via workshops and consensus discussions, sensitive issues such as transboundary pollution and cross-sectoral socioeconomic effects can be translated into rules for policy formulation and decision-making.

Discovery Software has also created two Flash websites for environmental research programs:
