Welcome to OGGM-Edu!
====================
OGGM-Edu is an educational website about glaciers.
Our main goal is to **provide tools and materials for instructors** who
want to teach about glaciers at school, in workshops or at the university.
For a general introduction and an overview, visit this recent
`EGU cryoblog post `_!
**OGGM-Edu has four independent and complementary components**:
1. :ref:`title_apps`, to illustrate glaciological processes with the
help of interactive graphics on the web. The targeted audience is very
broad, from school children to adults, with or without scientific background.
2. :ref:`title_graphics`, open access images and graphics that can be used
for lectures or presentations.
3. :ref:`title_notebooks`, for students willing to run and develop
their own experiments. The targeted audience are students at the undergrad
or graduate level with some programming experience, or under the supervision
of an instructor who can show them how to run the experiments.
4. :ref:`title_tuto`, for current and future users of the Open Global Glacier
Model. These notebooks are targetting graduate students or scientists aiming
to learn how the model works.
OGGM-Edu focuses on interactive content and numerical glacier experiments.
We do not provide teaching resources about fundamentals in glaciology or
climate science: for fundamental textbook material, refer to
:ref:`other_resources`, which OGGM-Edu intends to complement.

.. _title_notebooks:
Interactive Notebooks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Collection of notebooks with simple experiments explaining one or more
glaciological concepts. They are relatively easy to follow and adapt with some
background in programming, and we are working to make them as accessible as
possible. Read our :ref:`notebooks_howto` first if you are new to these things.

OGGM-Edu is an affiliated project of the larger OGGM consortium
(`oggm.org `_). It is mainly the work of volunteers, but we
also had support from various sources:
- the University of Innsbruck, Förderkreis **1669** – **Wissen** schafft
Gesell **schaft** (2019-2020).
- the German BMBF (project FKZ 01LS1602A, 2017-2019).
- `Google Cloud | Data Solutions for Change`_ who provided cloud computing
and hosting credits (2019-2020).
- the University of Innsbruck, department of
`Digital Sciences `_
(Neue Medien Projekte, 2018).
- the OGGM e.V. organisation, who supported the creation of the OGGM-Edu logo
and of the glacier graphics.

We rely on awesome open source tools to run OGGM-Edu! Most notably:
- `Jupyter `_
- `MyBinder `_
- `HoloViz `_
- `ReadTheDocs `_
- and many (many) other packages of the scientific python ecosytem
Last but not least: thanks to all OGGM-Edu friends and contributors!
