This visualization shows the annual count of nuclear explosions per country from the 1940s onward, highlighting shifts in leadership between the USA and USSR over time. It uses a line chart where the y-axis aggregates counts by country, with each line colored by nation. The code builds the chart with vega-lite-api, wraps it with vega and vega-lite, and loads data from a CSV via d3.csv (using d3 v5). Tooltips are enabled through vega-tooltip, and custom axis styling is defined in a separate config file.

AI-generated description

This is a visualization of the dataset Nuclear Explosions that shows how many nuclear devices countries have deployed compared to other countries each year. From 1940s to the beginning of 1970s, we see that (overall) USA was the leading country for most deployed nuclear devices, but between the mid 1970s and the late 1980s, we see that (overall) the USSR was the leading country.

Count of Nuclear Explosions per Country

This bar chart shows the total count of nuclear explosions per country, with each bar representing a nation and its length corresponding to the number of deployments. It uses Vega-Lite via the vega-lite-api to declare the bar marks and encodings, while D3’s csv loader fetches the data from a remote GitHub gist. The visualization is rendered through Vega’s SVG view, with a custom tooltip handler for interactive inspection and customized axis and label styling.

Count and Purpose of Nuclear Explosions

This stacked bar chart shows the number of nuclear explosions by country, colored by purpose, revealing that the USA deployed the most devices, mostly for weapons development. The visualization uses Vega-Lite API with d3.csv to load nuclear explosion data from a GitHub Gist, encoding country on the x-axis, count on the y-axis, and purpose as color. Tooltips display the purpose field, while custom configuration adjusts axis labels and tick styling for readability.

Map of Nuclear Explosions with Time Histogram

This interactive visualization combines a geographic map of U.S. nuclear explosion sites with a time histogram. The map displays each detonation as a circle, with color indicating the responsible country and a legend that filters points on hover. A separate bar chart below shows the total number of nuclear events per year. Built with React and D3 v5, the visualization uses `geoAlbers` projection via `d3.geoPath`, scales from `d3.scaleOrdinal`, and a histogram created with `d3.histogram`. Data comes from the Nuclear Explosions CSV dataset.

Map of Nuclear Explosions with Time Histogram

Combining a world map with a time-series histogram, this visualization plots nuclear explosions by latitude and longitude, with point size encoding yield magnitude and color indicating the responsible country. Hovering a country in the legend filters the map, while clicking a point reveals detailed deployment information. Two dropdowns filter by purpose and type of explosion. The lower histogram bins events by year using d3.bin, with counts shown on hover. Built with React, it renders SVG via d3.geoPath for the Natural Earth landmasses and d3.scaleSqrt for proportional symbol sizing.

Map of Nuclear Explosions with Time Histogram

This interactive map visualizes nuclear explosion locations, with point size encoding yield magnitude and color indicating the responsible country. Hovering reveals coordinates, while clicking displays detailed event information. Two dropdown menus filter deployments by purpose and type. A time histogram below shows annual event counts. Built with React and D3 v5, the visualization uses `geoNaturalEarth1`, `geoPath`, `scaleSqrt`, and `bin` to render the World Atlas TopoJSON map and aggregated data.

Data Summary

This donut chart shows the percentage of nuclear explosions detonated by each country from 1945 to 1998, based on data from the SIPRI report. It uses d3.nest to aggregate the CSV data by country and d3.pie with d3.arc to generate the SVG paths. A d3.legendColor adds a color legend, and a hover tooltip is implemented but not populated with content.

D3 Scatter Plot-Nuclear Explosions

This scatter plot visualizes global nuclear explosions, mapping detonation year on the x-axis and depth on the y-axis for each test. The dataset, sourced from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, is color-coded by country using a fixed palette. The code loads CSV data via `d3.csv`, scales positions with `d3.scaleLinear`, and renders circles as SVG elements. Axes are generated using `d3.axisLeft` and `d3.axisBottom`, while the plot fills the browser window with a responsive layout.

Latitude and Longitude of Nuclear Explosions

This visualization displays the geographic distribution of nuclear explosions using latitude and longitude coordinates overlaid on a world map. The map background is rendered using the `geoNaturalEarth1` projection and `geoPath` from the D3 library, while `world-atlas` data provides the country boundaries. Each explosion is plotted as a circle using `vl.markCircle` from Vega-Lite, with tooltips revealing the region. The data is fetched as CSV from a GitHub gist, showing clusters of detonations across the United States and Russia.
