Model:OGGM

OGGM

Also known as
Model type	Single
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	3D
Spatial extent	Global, Continental, Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale
Model domain	Cryosphere
One-line model description	OGGM is a modular open source model for glacier dynamics
Extended model description	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 and extensible workflow. Publicly available data is used for calibration and validation.
