D3 Course - Missing Migrants, Multiple Views
This interactive visualization combines a natural Earth projection world map with a time-series histogram to explore the Missing Migrants Dataset. The map displays each migrant event as a semi-transparent circle scaled by total dead and missing using `d3.scaleSqrt`, while the histogram aggregates monthly deaths using `d3.histogram` and `d3.sum`. A brush on the histogram, implemented with `d3.brushX`, filters the map’s displayed events based on the selected date range, linking the two views. The code uses `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath` for map rendering, with country boundaries from World Atlas TopoJSON.
