In the second block, the focus shifts to glacier measurement and modelling. The students will learn how to analyze glacier length changes and simulate glacial retreat under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios using Python-based modelling techniques. The glaciers under study will be examined in greater detail during an excursion to the Ötztal and Zillertal regions (Tyrol) in July.By the end of the course, students will have a strong understanding of glaciological processes, climate interactions, and computational modeling techniques for studying glacier behavior in a changing world.Contents:
- Definitions associated with global climate changes and IPCC’s predictions
- Glacial geomorphology: past and present glacier structures
- Mapping and modelling of glacier evolution under climate change
- Glacier investigation in the field: excursion to the Alps (Tyrol)
