GeoNotebook is an open-source extension to the Jupyter Notebook ecosystem that equips users with powerful geospatial visualization and analysis capabilities directly within the notebook interface. It integrates with GeoJS and other geospatial services to enable rich, interactive map rendering, layer control, and GIS data manipulation alongside traditional code and markdown cells in a Jupyter environment. Users can execute Python geospatial analysis and immediately visualize results on slippy web maps, allowing them to explore, annotate, and interpret large spatial datasets without leaving the notebook. GeoNotebook bridges the gap between data science workflows and GIS exploration by combining the flexibility of interactive notebooks with browser-based map display driven by a Python backend and WebGL/Canvas tools. It supports workflows that include map reprojection, layer interaction, and tile serving, which are essential for real world geoscience and environmental analysis.
