This course aims to explore how ice is changing in a warming climate using decades of satellite images. Participants will learn about the evolution of glaciers, changes in Earth's ice sheets, and new discoveries about Greenland and Antarctica. The course teaches skills such as analyzing satellite images, interpreting glacier behavior, and understanding the impact of climate change on ice formations. The teaching method includes presentations by researchers and the showcasing of time-lapse movies of glaciers. This course is intended for individuals interested in climate change, glaciology, remote sensing, and environmental science.
