A new website dedicated to glacier education has launched. OGGM- Edu, as it’s known, is geared towards educators and instructors. Fabien Maussion, a glaciologist at the University of Innsbruck, was inspired to create the site after working on the Open Global Glacier Model (the “OGGM” of the website’s name), a tool created by the University of Innsbruck and the University of Bremen in Germany. According to Maussion, he “saw the learning potential” of the model, which inspired more than just the website name. OGGM-Edu, which is geared towards instructors and educators, offers a variety of educational tools and materials. These materials include interactive apps, graphics and images, adaptable notebooks, and tutorials on the use of the Open Global Glacier Model.
