Migrant Deaths Linked Views with Brushing
This interactive visualization combines a world map and a time-series histogram to explore migrant deaths. The map displays proportional circles for each incident, with the histogram below showing the temporal distribution of casualties. Users can brush over a time range in the histogram to filter the map, highlighting only incidents within that period. Built with React and D3, it uses `d3.geoPath` for geographic projections, `d3.scaleSqrt` for circle sizing, and linked views through shared state.
