world_map
This interactive world map visualizes the locations of nuclear explosions overlaid on a wireframe globe, rendered as an animated SVG. It uses a React wrapper around D3 v3’s `geoMercator` projection, `geoPath`, and `geoGraticule` to draw land, interiors, and graticules from TopoJSON country data. Nuclear event points, sourced from a CSV file, are positioned via the projection and appear as circles with tooltips. A sphere outline and data-driven layer highlight the geographic scatterplot design.

Open This is a design experiment for project project tomorrow. I used it as an proof of concept to grasp the usability for intermodal projections of global data.
The sweet spots of the code are from Jason Davis Dorling World and Mike Bostocks Shape Tweening. Open the block in a sperate window for all of its functionality.
