Sized Points on a Map
This visualization shows a world map with sized points representing nuclear explosions, where the point radius corresponds to the blast depth. The map is rendered using SVG with D3’s `geoNaturalEarth1` projection, showing graticules, land masses, and country boundaries from the World Atlas TopoJSON. City data, sourced from a CSV of nuclear explosions, is plotted as semi-transparent teal circles scaled by a `scaleSqrt` size scale based on depth values. The visualization is built with React, D3 v5 for geospatial projection and data loading, and topojson for processing world atlas shapes.
