1/ Let's use glaciers to learn something about the relationship between average precipitation and temperature today! ❄️🏔️🌡️
What makes them so special to us? They are coming from research groups 👏 outside of the OGGM core team 👏 1/3
This makes us proud, because it rewards all the work that went into documenting the code and making of OGGM (oggm.org) a useful and user friendly model. 2/3

edu.oggm.org is an #interactive platform to #learn and #teach about #glaciers. We started OGGM-Edu as the "educational branch" of OGGM, but nowadays we see the project as largely independent and useful on its own. Why do we hope that it can be useful to you? 1/n
OGGM-Edu offers "hands-on" and practical activities, but only very little textbook content: we see the platform as an interactive complement to existing (and awesome) resources such as antarcticglaciers.org (@AntarcticGlacie) 2/n

#FridayCryospherePaper! Until the submission deadline for the upcoming #EGU20 (Jan 15th), each Friday we will highlight a new paper which was important for the field of large scale glaciology, and therefore also for our new EGU session: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/sessio… 1/
Today: "Contribution potential of glaciers to water availability in different climate regimes" by Kaser et al. (2010): pnas.org/content/107/47… Published only a few months after the "Himalaya Gate", this paper attempts to bring some data driven facts in an over-heated debate. 2/
