The lecture represents an introduction to various aspects of fundamental and applied glaciology. It covers the description and basic role of the cryosphere in the climate system with special focus on alpine glaciers and ice sheets including the role of glaciers as climate archives using ice core drilling. First hand glaciological experience may be collected during a 1-day excursion. The main topics covered are:

- Ice in the climate system
- Mass balance and glacier morphology
- Firnification
- Deformation and flow of ice (continuum mechanics)
- Temperature distribution in ice
- Ice core research (isotopes, aerosol, gases)
