This visualization maps Rohingya refugee site locations in Cox's Bazar against a backdrop of fire detections in Myanmar from June to September 2017. Refugee population sizes determine circle radii, while UNHCR-managed sites are distinguished by a two-color scale. Fire detections are colored by their acquisition date. Built with D3 v4, it uses `d3.geoOrthographic`, `d3.geoPath`, and `d3.queue` to load CSV datasets from UNHCR and NASA's FIRMS, rendering circles over SVG.

Download Id(s): 18618 18619
Data Source: MODIS C6 & VIIRS
Area of Interest: Myanmar
Date Range: 2017-06-01 to 2017-09-29

Request Time : 2017-09-29 09:20:49

For reference:

The first pass at the locations of fires in Myanmar (myanmar-fires.csv, not shown on the visualization any more) from Hindustan Times: Rohingya villages burnt to the ground in Myanmar, sparking one of world’s worst refugee crises via GitHub: HindustanTimesLabs/rohingya-village-fires. This data was first published in the article by Amnesty International: Myanmar: Scorched-earth campaign fuels ethnic cleansing of Rohingya from Rakhine State.

Refugees Streamgraph

This visualization shows the total number of persons of concern grouped by country of origin from 1951 to 2016, using a streamgraph with a wiggle offset. It labels selected regions with `d3-area-label` and includes interactive highlighting on hover. The data is sourced from UNHCR Population Statistics and preprocessed into a JSON file. The visualization is built with D3 v4, using `d3.stack`, `d3.area`, and `d3.scaleTime` for rendering as SVG.

Refugees Streamgraph

This streamgraph visualizes the total number of persons of concern to UNHCR, grouped by country of origin, using a flowing, layered area chart. The data spans multiple years and is filtered to exclude countries with relatively low counts. Rendered in SVG with D3 v4, the chart uses a wiggle offset to create the signature streamgraph silhouette, with each country’s contribution represented as a colored layer. Labels are positioned using d3-area-label, and hovering highlights individual streams by turning them black. The visualization relies on interpolated yearly values and a custom stack layout to show change over time for over 1 million persons of concern per country.

Syria Situation Prototypes

This interactive area chart visualizes the growth of Syrian refugees, comparing those residing in camps against those in urban and rural settings. The input data is loaded from two local JSON files sourced from the UN Refugee Agency Data API, with both datasets interpolated to a unified daily timeline using `d3.bisector` to enable a continuous stacked comparison. The visualization, built with D3 v4, renders semi-transparent SVG areas, includes an x-axis for dates and a right-aligned y-axis with gridlines, and features a mouse-driven tooltip.

Fork of Viet refugees

This map visualizes the number of refugees under UNHCR’s mandate by country for a given year. The visualization uses a natural Earth projection to render world geography, with each country colored according to its refugee count using a red-yellow-green sequential color scale. The map is rendered as SVG, and the code leverages D3’s `geoPath`, `geoNaturalEarth1`, `scaleOrdinal`, and `schemeRdYlGn` to project, color, and display the data. Country data is loaded from a CSV file, while the geographic boundaries come from the world-atlas package.

Refugees Streamgraph

A streamgraph visualizes the total number of persons of concern to UNHCR from 1951 to 2016, grouped by country of asylum or residence and excluding countries with low cumulative counts. The chart uses a wiggle offset and inside-out ordering via `d3.stack` to create the layered flows, with area shapes rendered as SVG paths using `d3.area` and a basis curve. Hovering highlights a country by turning its path black. Data originates from UNHCR’s time series CSV and is preprocessed with `d3.nest`.

A D3 map

This interactive visualization shows migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide, combining a geographic bubble map with a temporal histogram. A D3 natural Earth projection renders the world map, with semi-transparent circles sized by death counts using a square root scale. The histogram below aggregates monthly totals, and both views share the same dataset of recorded incidents. The visualization is built with React, D3 v4 geo and scale utilities, and SVG rendering, using data from the Missing Migrants Project.

Dataviz 2020_Ep40 - 32. Missing Migrants3 - Sized Circles on a Map

A world map displays circles sized by the number of total dead and missing migrants, with data from a CSV of global migrant incidents. The visualization uses a natural Earth projection rendered as SVG via React, with D3’s `geoPath` and `geoGraticule` for map outlines. Circle radii are scaled using a square-root scale (`scaleSqrt`) based on the maximum value, and the map layers include land, interiors, and sphere boundaries.

Fulcrum S Projections

This visualization shows missing migrant incidents worldwide, with circles sized by death toll on a world map and a time-series histogram below. Brushing a date range on the histogram filters the map’s bubbles. It uses React and D3 v5, including `geoNaturalEarth1`, `geoPath`, and `scaleSqrt` for the map, plus `brushX`, `scaleTime`, and `histogram` for the timeline. Data comes from a CSV of missing migrants, rendered as SVG with the world-atlas TopoJSON.
