🌎🧪 Not every insight needs a new model—sometimes, you just need a new way to see the one you’ve already built.
With side-by-side map comparison in #SyncroSim Cloud, you can now view two model outputs next to each other and spot key differences across space, time, and scenarios.

Instead of our usual canoe trek, we enjoyed an eco-tour through the Haliburton Forest. This included a paddle, canopy walk, and a deep dive into the forest's history. A brush with dog ticks (a first for us!) also reminded us how climate is reshaping ecosystems.
