An open source glacier model in Python

Extending Marzeion et al., (2012), the model accounts for glacier geometry (including contributory branches) and includes an explicit ice dynamics module. It can simulate past and future mass-balance, volume and geometry of (almost) any glacier in the world in a fully automated workflow. We rely exclusively on publicly available data for calibration and validation.

This is the model’s documentation for users and developers as of version 1.0. For the documentation of the latest (cutting-edge) repository version, visit oggm.readthedocs.io/en/latest.
