Science is for Everybody: A resource for understanding glaciers, climate, and modeling
Climate change threatens the existence of glaciers worldwide. In order to properly interact with these changing systems, we must first understand them. Glacial models provide an excellent way to do this; however, the language and mathematical concepts used in their creation is generally inaccessible...

Climate change threatens the existence of glaciers worldwide. In order to properly interact with these changing systems, we must first understand them.

Long term goals for the project include the incorporation of a glacial model of Drangajökull, Vestfirðir, NW Iceland.
