Missing Migrants
This visualization combines a bubble map with a time-series histogram to show migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide. The map uses d3.geoNaturalEarth1 and d3.geoPath to render country boundaries, with circle size scaled by d3.scaleSqrt representing the total dead and missing. The histogram below aggregates reported dates into monthly bins using d3.bin and d3.timeMonths, with bar heights summing casualties. Both views use React components, with data loaded from a CSV of the Missing Migrants Project and country outlines from TopoJSON world-atlas data.
