| 651-4101-00L | Physics of Glaciers | W | 3 KP | 3G | M. Lüthi, F. T. Walter, M. Werder | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Understanding glaciers and ice sheets with simple physical concepts. Topics include the reaction of glaciers to the climate, flow of glacier ice, temperature in glaciers and ice sheets, glacier hydrology, glacier seismology, basal motion and calving glaciers. A special focus is the current development of the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | After the course the students are able understand and interpret measurements of ice flow, subglacial water pressure and ice temperature. They will have an understanding of glaciology-related physical concepts sufficient to understand most of the contemporary literature on the topic. The students will be well equipped to work on glacier-related problems by numerical modeling, remote sensing, and field work. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The dynamics of glaciers and polar ice sheets is the key requisite to understand their history and their future evolution. We will take a closer look at ice deformation, basal motion, heat flow and glacier hydraulics. The specific dynamics of tide water and calving glaciers is investigated, as is the reaction of glaciers to changes in mass balance (and therefore climate). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 101-0289-00L | Applied Glaciology | W | 4 KP | 2G | D. Farinotti, A. Bauder, M. Werder | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course transmits fundamental knowledge for treating applied glaciological problems. Topics include climate-glacier interactions, glacier ice flow, glacier hydrology, ice avalanches, and lake ice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The objectives of the courses are to: - learn about fundamental glaciological processes, including glacier mass balance, ice dynamics, and glacier-related hazards; - apply the above knowledge to some case studies inspired by contract-works performed at ETH's Glaciology section; - generate the own computer code to solve the above case studies, and interpret the results; - understand, both in class and in the field, the practical relevance of glaciology, with a focus on the Swiss applications. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The course will develop along the following outline: - How glaciology became a scientific discipline - Glaciology and hydropower - Glacier mechanics and ice flow - Gravitational glacier instabilities - Glacier hydrology and glacier lake outbursts - Lake ice and ice bearing capacity - Field excursion to Jungfraujoch - Discussion of the exercises performed during the semester | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | Digital lecture handouts will be distributed prior to each class. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | Links to relevant literature will be provided during the classes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Completed BSc studies. Basic knowledge in computer scripting in any language (e.g. Python, R, Julia, Matlab, IDL, ...) will be advantageous for solving the exercises. The exercises will be performed in groups. A minimal level of fitness is required for the field excursion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
