OGGM Knowledge Infrastructure

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides an autonomous, end-to-end knowledge infrastructure for running the Open Global Glacier Model (OGGM) in conjunction with HydroCraft's VIC hydrological framework, enabling repeatable glacier simulations and coupled cryospheric-hydrological analyses.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end OGGM workflow orchestration (inventory, preprocessing, climate processing, calibration, simulation) for glacier basins.
• VIC coupling: convert glacier melt to VIC-ready inputs and manage double-counting corrections.
• Support for CMIP6 climate projections and baseline climate data with geodetic calibration references.
• Reproducible, YAML-driven knowledge infrastructure that codifies common pitfalls and error handling.

Quick Start

Initialize the six-stage OGGM workflow for a basin and run the VIC-coupled glacier simulation.
