A global map renders meteorite fall locations as red circles that expand and fade in sequence over time, with each circle's final size proportional to the logarithm of the meteorite's mass. The visualization uses D3.js with a Mercator projection and geographic paths to draw simplified country borders, while CartoDB's SQL API fetches GeoJSON data for both the map and meteorite records. Animated transitions drive the expanding circles, and a zoom behavior enables panning and scaling of the entire SVG scene.

Meteor Landings Project V.5

This map of meteorite landings plots each fall as a scaled circle, with point size encoding mass and a color scheme that categorizes samples into chondrites, achondrites, irons, and stony-irons. The visualization uses a natural Earth projection via `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and renders countries from a TopoJSON world atlas using `d3.geoPath`. A tooltip supplies per-point details, and the display is built with D3’s selection and data-join methods in an SVG container.

Meteor Landings Project - Final

This visualization maps meteorite landings worldwide, with each landing point color-coded by meteorite classification category—chondrites, achondrites, irons, and stony-irons—and sized by mass. The map uses d3.geoNaturalEarth1 projection with d3.geoPath to render country boundaries from TopoJSON data. Interactive hover states display details via a tooltip, while color scales and square-root sizing convey the distribution and magnitude of meteorite falls across the globe.

Meteor Landings Project V.2

This world map visualization displays meteorite landing locations, using a custom D3.js projection and geoPath to render country outlines and graticules. Each meteorite is plotted as a circle with size scaled by its mass and color-coded by broad category—chondrites, achondrites, irons, or stony-irons—derived from the recclass field, with a legend explaining the scheme. The data comes from a CSV file, and the map’s base geography is loaded from TopoJSON via topojson-client.

Meteor Landings Project V.6

A world map displays meteorite landings, with each point colored by meteorite category—chondrites, achondrites, irons, and stony-irons—using predefined color scales and sized by mass. The visualization loads country boundaries from TopoJSON data and renders them with `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath`. Meteorite records from `data.csv` are projected onto the map, and hovering over a point reveals a tooltip with additional details.

Meteor Landings Project V.1

A natural Earth projection world map displays meteorite landing sites as red points, layered over country outlines and graticule lines. The visualization loads world geography from a TopoJSON file via `topojson.feature` and projects it with `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath`. Meteorite coordinates from a local CSV are plotted as circles using the same projection, with `d3.select` and `.join` managing the SVG elements.

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`.

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`.

Meteorite Landings

The visualization maps meteorite landings across the globe, encoding each fall's mass (g) through mark size and layering class type and chronological order over geographic position. It uses D3's `geoPath` for the base map and applies a sequential color scale to distinguish meteorite classifications, while a time-based slider filters year ranges. The dataset from NASA's Meteoritical Society is loaded via ESM imports, with numeric parsing of mass and coordinates handled in the data preprocessing phase.
