Fork of Missing Migrants on a Map
This interactive visualization maps incidents of missing migrants worldwide, with each circle representing a single event and its size scaled to the reported number of dead and missing. The map uses a D3.js natural Earth projection with SVG rendering, incorporating geospatial APIs like `geoNaturalEarth1`, `geoPath`, and `geoGraticule` for the graticule and sphere elements. Country boundaries are drawn from the World Atlas TopoJSON source, while the data comes from the Missing Migrants Dataset loaded via D3’s `csv` function. The React-based frontend utilizes `useWorldAtlas` and `useData` custom hooks to fetch and process the geographic and incident data, with circles positioned using the projection and colored with low opacity.
