Jupyter Book as an open online teaching environment in the geosciences: lessons learned from Geo-SfM and Geo-UAV Open

Peter Betlem, Nil Rodés, Sara Mollie Cohen, Marie Annette Vander Kloet · 2025

Computer science Geology

Together with our students, we co-created two open-access geoscientific course modules using the Jupyter Book environment. We also assessed the Jupyter Book environment, integrated with GitHub to facilitate versioning, for its suitability …

Crustal Heterogeneity Onshore Central Spitsbergen: Insights From New Gravity and Vintage Geophysical Data Open

Kim Senger, Fenna Ammerlaan, Peter Betlem, Marco Brönner, Marie‐Andrée Dumais , et al. · 2025

Geology History

Gravity data provide constraints on lateral subsurface density variations and thus provide crucial insights into the geological evolution of the region. Previously, gravity data from the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard comprised a…
