The GeoSMART Jupyter Book library#
Jupyter Books include executable code. Supporting platforms include Binder, Colab and the AWS free tier.
GeoSMART supports a collection of Jupyter Books forming a digital geoscience library. Books in the library can be identified by this badge:
Contributions are welcome! Taking a full scale ‘do it yourself’ approach: Create a Jupyter Book from a GeoSMART template. Contributions are also welcome on a smaller scale: Simply start that conversation by contacting the GeoSMAR organization.
Creating a Jupyter Book#
Navigate the Use Case template repository and click “use as template”.
In the resulting repo: The .github folder contains github actions that will
recompile the book when revisions are submitted. There is no gh-pages branch
creation; this is automated.
Oceanography#
The book is divided into two parts. The first part emphasizes scientific research concerning the upper layer of the ocean. This narrative is driven by data, specifically observational data through a variety of systems and programs.
The second part of the book is technical background: Documentation on how the first part works.
