UBC Geography JupyterLite

This is a customized deployment of the JupyterLite Demo with a specific focus around the diverse computing needs of geographers.

You can learn more about JupyterLite and running JupyterLab entirely within a browser here.

This method for running JupyterLab is still experimental and many features aren't available. For UBC researchers seeking a stable method for running Jupyter on remote resources, review UBC Open Jupyter, UBC Syzygy, or Alliance JupyterHub.

Customizations

This deployment has been adapted to include the following:

• A Python kernel running from Pyodide's development release, which provides access to the popular geospatial package, rasterio.
• An R kernel running from R for WebAssembly's webR distribution.

Requirements

JupyterLite is being tested against modern web browsers:

• Firefox 90+
• Chromium 89+
