A sequence of earthquakes is animated as expanding red circles on a world map, with each circle's final size proportional to its magnitude. The visualization first renders country borders from CartoDB's `d3_world_borders` table using `d3.geo.mercator` and `d3.geo.path`, then queries earthquake data via `cartodb.SQL` and plays them in chronological order. Each quake circle grows over two seconds via D3 transitions, fading out before the next appears, while `d3.behavior.zoom` allows pan and zoom on the SVG.

Easy earthquakes

The visualization animates a chronological sequence of earthquakes on a world map, with each quake appearing as a red circle that expands and fades based on its magnitude. It shows earthquake locations and relative strengths over time, looping through the dataset repeatedly. The map uses a d3.geo.mercator projection with d3.geo.path to render world borders from CartoDB’s SQL API, while earthquake data is fetched via `cartodb.SQL` and drawn as SVG circles with d3 transitions. Zooming and panning are enabled through `d3.behavior.zoom`.

Easy earthquakes

A user’s geolocation triggers a real-time map animation of earthquakes, shown as expanding colored circles on a dark Mercator projection of world borders. The visualization pulls geographic data from CartoDB via SQL queries, using `cartodb.SQL` to fetch user locations and map features, while D3.js renders SVG paths and animated circles. Circle color encodes earthquake category through a logarithmic scale, and each pulse expands and fades over two seconds before repeating, with zoom and pan supported via `d3.behavior.zoom`.

Earthquakes since 1965

This world map displays significant earthquakes since 1965, using circles sized by magnitude, with tooltips showing country and magnitude. The visualization renders on an SVG canvas using React and D3 v5, employing `geoNaturalEarth1` projection with `geoPath`, `geoGraticule`, and world atlas TopoJSON for land boundaries. Earthquake data comes from a cleaned CSV of the Kaggle USGS dataset. Semi-transparent red circles encode magnitude through a square-root scale, overlaid on light blue oceans and green landmasses.

draft earthquake data

This visualization uses earthquake data from a USGS dataset to map seismic events by location and magnitude on a world map. Each earthquake is represented as a circle, with its size scaled by magnitude and its position determined by latitude/longitude coordinates. The depth of the quakes is encoded through color, creating a gradient from shallow to deep events. The map is rendered with SVG paths for continents, and a custom tooltip provides details on click or hover. Circles are drawn with D3's data-join and scaled using a linear magnitude scale, while the map projection and graticule are set up with D3's geo utilities. The visualization highlights the global distribution and intensity of recent seismic activity, with Nepal, Japan, and the South Pacific clearly standing out.

Worldwide Earthquake stats 2000-2015

This visualization presents a playful, animated face built with D3.js (v5), rendered as vector graphics in an SVG container. It uses D3 selection and attribute manipulation to construct a yellow circle head with eyes, eyebrows, and a mouth. The animation uses D3 transitions to move the eyebrows up and down in a repeating two-second cycle. The underlying data source, worldwide earthquake statistics, is not visually represented in the code.

Ver3 Earthquakes (past 30 days)

This visualization displays global earthquake activity from the past 30 days on an interactive world map. Circles are positioned using a D3 geoEquirectangular projection, with circle size encoding earthquake magnitude. Color encodes depth, with red for shallow (<70km), green for intermediate (70-300km), and blue for deep (≥300km) earthquakes. The map also shows country boundaries, graticules, and tectonic plate boundaries. Users can click any earthquake circle to open its USGS details page in a new tab, or pan and zoom using the d3.zoom() interaction. Additional brush-based zooming is implemented to allow for more intuitive exploration of the data.

EarthQuakes Bubblegraph

This visualization displays recent significant earthquakes as a bubble graph, plotting each seismic event as a circle positioned by its magnitude. The interactive map, rendered as an SVG canvas, uses mouseover events to highlight individual quakes and display their location and magnitude in a text element. Built with React and D3.v5, the code fetches live data from the USGS Earthquake API, styling each bubble with radius scaled to magnitude and colored by alert level, set against a stylized blue background.

Earthquake Map

This map visualizes global earthquakes using D3.js, plotting each event as a colored circle on a dark equirectangular projection. Circle size and color encode earthquake magnitude, with the data sourced from a CSV file of USGS earthquake records. The map employs an SVG rendering and includes a polar fisheye distortion effect, initially centered on Japan, that magnifies the map around the cursor's position. The fisheye implementation uses D3’s projection and custom fisheye.js, with event handling throttled for performance.
