This repository contains a collection of Jupyter notebooks and datasets as supplement of the following research paper:

• Theunissen, T., Huismans, R.S., Lu, G. and Riel, N. Relative continent/mid-ocean ridge elevation: a reference case for isostasy in geodynamics. Earth-Science Reviews (Under preparation, submission december 2021)

Please cite the source when using these data.

This Repository allows:

• Displaying data and computing statistics on elevation of continents and mid-ocean ridges
• Displaying and downloading thermodynamic solutions including input files, raw data and grids of density, melt fraction,...
• Computing basic 1-D isostatic balance for a reference case

How to run the notebooks?

Run in the cloud (Binder)

You can run the notebooks in your browser without installing anything thanks to binder. Just follow the link below and it will launch remotely a new notebook server for you:

• Run on binder

Install and run locally (Conda)

Assuming that you have git and conda installed, you can install all the packages required to run the notebooks in a new conda environment using the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/tth030/my-first-binder.git
$ cd my-first-binder
$ conda env create -f environment.yml
$ conda activate my-first-binder

You also need to install a few Jupyterlab extensions with the following command (this step won't be required anymore with Jupyterlab >= 3.x):

$ jupyter labextension install \
    @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager \
    @pyviz/jupyterlab_pyviz \
    dask-labextension \
    ipygany

Finally run the command below to start the Jupyterlab application. It should open a new tab in your browser.

$ jupyter-lab start.ipynb

Jupyter notebooks

• start.ipynb: general introduction and disclaimers
• topography.ipynb: data display and download, computation of statistics of Earth Topography
• thermodyn.ipynb: data display and download, results from thermodynamic calculations

Datasets

Disclaimer:

Some files provided here (data/) comes from a preliminary filtering using a command that is described in each binary header (can be read using ncinfo or gmt gmtinfo). Links provided here will give you access directly to the raw data or to a contact email.
