I think the prospect is exciting but this might be a little ambitious.

We have enough problems creating accurate and reliable environmental models at the moment, to now try to intigrate all these other features risks creating an over-parameterised mess with only a fractional relation to the 'real world'.

Still, it'll be exciting to be proved wrong on this!

Cheers
