Module Overview
Module 1: Exploring the Glacier Basin System
This module consists of five units, walking students through an overview of the glacier basin system, exploring glacier mass balance, albedo, and surface melt, and looking inside and underneath the glacier. The Units also cover the transition from the glacier margin to land and system responses to climate change.
Module 2: Long-term Spatial Transformations of the Glacier Basin System
Module 2 consists of four units. The units begin by exploring past ice margin retreat and processes of ice margin retreat and elevation change. The material then explores natural climate variability and anthropogenic forcings, and then examines potential future ice margin response to climate change.
