Welcome to the OGGM Edu Notebooks!

If you are reading this from our webpage (https://oggm.org/oggm-edu-notebooks), remember that each page displayed here is in fact a jupyter notebook! You can start an interactive version of these tutorials online with MyBinder by clicking on the “launch button” on the top right of this page (the little rocket 🚀).

If you are completely new to Jupyter Notebooks and MyBinder, visit this page first and then follow the basic tutorial below.

Have fun with OGGM-Edu!

If you don’t know how to use Jupyter Notebooks:

• Getting started with the Jupyter Notebook: an introduction to Jupyter Notebooks

Flowline modeling with simplified glacier geometry:

• Getting started with OGGM Edu: idealised glaciers

• Influence of bed slope on glacier size

• Influence of ice flow parameters on glacier size

• Mass balance gradients and their influence on glacier flow

• Glacier surging experiments

Glacier surface mass balance, advance and retreat processes with simplified glacier geometry:

• Accumulation and ablation processes

• Glacier advance and retreat

• Glaciers as low-pass filters of climate variations

Glaciers as water ressources and “real world” glacier experiments:

• Glaciers as water resources: part 1 (idealized climate)

• Glaciers as water resources: part 2 (projections)

Educational graphics:

• ELA changes and response time
