.. figure:: _static/oggm.gif :align: left 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_apps: Interactive apps ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These interactive apps can be run on any computer with an internet connection. * :doc:`gallery` * :doc:`explorer` * :doc:`simulator` * :doc:`alps_future` .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Interactive apps gallery.rst explorer.rst simulator.rst alps_future.rst .. _title_graphics: Graphics ^^^^^^^^ Open access images and graphics that can be used for lectures or presentations. * :doc:`glacier_basics` * :doc:`glacier_lowpass` .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Graphics glacier_basics.rst glacier_lowpass.rst .. _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. * :doc:`notebooks_howto` * :doc:`notebooks_index` .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: Interactive Notebooks notebooks_howto.rst notebooks_index.rst .. _title_tuto: OGGM tutorials ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These are more advanced notebooks, for users of the OGGM model. * :doc:`oggm_tuto` .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: OGGM tutorials oggm_tuto.rst For instructors and teachers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks for considering OGGM-Edu for your classes! We've gathered some recommendations and guidelines here. * :doc:`why_oggmedu` * :doc:`classes_howto` * :doc:`examples` * :doc:`charter` * :doc:`roadmap` .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 :hidden: :caption: For instructors and teachers why_oggmedu.rst classes_howto.rst other_resources.rst charter.rst roadmap.rst .. _title_contact: Get in touch ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Interested in OGGM-Edu? We would love to hear from you! - All of this website and notebooks are located `on GitHub`_. - Report bugs or share your ideas on the `issue tracker`_. - Improve the website by submitting a `pull request`_. - Follow us on `Twitter`_. - Or you can always send us an `e-mail`_ the good old way. .. _e-mail: info@oggm.org .. _on GitHub: https://github.com/OGGM/oggm-edu .. _issue tracker: https://github.com/OGGM/oggm-edu/issues .. _pull request: https://github.com/OGGM/oggm-edu/pulls .. _Twitter: https://twitter.com/OGGM_org Acknowledgements ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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. .. raw:: html Image missing Image missing Image missing Image missing Jupyter logo MyBinder logo
| 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!
