2026 COLDEX Short Course
Ice Dynamics & Modeling

Pre-Work

An active learning strategy (backed by science!) is to test your background knowledge prior to learning. For each paper, there is an associated Knowledge Check. These are in a quiz form, but are of course not for any grade. You can take these quizzes as many times as you like to help practice your recall and retention of content. Take the quiz before and after your reading and see how much your knowledge improves!
