if you have issues to run the notebooks, then do:

• conda env create --name oggm_edu_alps_future -f environment.yml
• conda activate oggm_edu_alps_future
• -> and then run the notebooks in that newly created environment

Possible future improvements:

• implementation of uncertainties into the graphic
• possibility to choose between absolute and percentage change of volume
• adding a map in which the user can select glaciers
• implement tick-boxes for choosing the displayed RCP-scenarios
• two dropdown menus to give the opportunity that every region can be compared to every other region/country
