 Glacier flowline modelling

+In this notebook we will set-up a simple model run and visualize it afterwards. Therefore we will learn how to define an easy glacier bed and a suitable grid. The learner will implement mass balance in the form of equilibrium line altitude (ELA) and see how his glacier develops in length, volume and area over certain years.
+
+*Prerequisites:* If you are new to jupyter-notebook, have a look at this short `introduction
+<http://edu.oggm.org/en/latest/notebooks_howto.html#notebooks-introduction>`_.
+The notebook uses Python. If this is completely new for you, I recommend to go through an introductory tutorial first. But the notebook is not too complicated and you can try it without being a Python expert.

+Ice flow parameters
+===================
+
+In this notebook we will have a closer look at the parameters that describe ice flow: Glen's creep parameter and the sliding parameter. We will implement them in our model and see their influence on glacier flow.

+Mass balance gradient
+=====================
+
+In this notebook you will run experiments with a focus on the mass balance gradient. You will see how different mass balance gradients influence the growth of a glacier. Therefore, we calculate our glacier models until they reach an equilibrium state and compare length, area and volume.
