This map visualizes global earthquake activity from September 2015, plotting seismic events by magnitude and location. Circles sized by magnitude are positioned on a geographic basemap, with a diverging color scale distinguishing stronger quakes. The visualization reads earthquake records from a CSV containing time, coordinates, depth, and magnitude, and renders the data using SVG.

Earthquake Map

This map visualizes global earthquake activity over a two-week period in September 2015. Each circle marks an earthquake, sized by magnitude and colored by depth, with larger and darker circles indicating stronger, shallower events. The visualization uses the D3.js library to project earthquake epicenters onto a world map, with a legend clarifying the depth-color mapping and magnitude scaling. The map is rendered with SVG, with circles positioned by latitude and longitude coordinates from the dataset. The included data shows a cluster of significant seismic activity off the coast of Chile, as well as events across the Pacific Ring of Fire. The visualization effectively communicates the global distribution of earthquakes and relative intensities through its circle sizing and color scheme.

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.

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.

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.

earthquakes

This visualization maps global earthquake epicenters as points on a world map, with each point’s size encoding magnitude and its color representing depth. The GeoJSON data is plotted using a geographic projection, where the point geometry for each earthquake is rendered based on latitude and longitude coordinates. Magnitude values are mapped to graduated circle sizes, allowing quick comparison of seismic strength, while depth is encoded through a sequential color scale—typically from shallow (light) to deep (dark). The map reveals clusters of seismic activity along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire, with larger circles indicating stronger earthquakes. Tooltips or hover interactions would reveal detailed attributes like date, magnitude, depth, and station count, making the visualization both an overview of global seismicity and a gateway to per-event details. The source data is from the USGS-style earthquake records, providing a clear, interactive way to explore historical earthquake distributions.

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.

Earthquake Map

This map shows earthquake locations across the United States, with each quake colored by magnitude range from green (0-1.0) to red (3.0-4.0). The visualization uses d3.geoPath and d3.geoAlbersUsa to project USGS earthquake feed data onto state boundaries from a TopoJSON file, with d3.legendColor providing the magnitude legend. Separate SVG layers render quakes for each magnitude bin, and text annotations display counts per category.

Ver2 of Earthquakes (past 30 days)

This map shows the locations of earthquakes from the past 30 days, with each event drawn as a circle scaled by magnitude and colored by depth. The visualization uses real-time GeoJSON data from USGS.gov, and each earthquake marker is hyperlinked to its corresponding USGS event page. Built with D3.js, the map colors circles along a gradient to represent depth, with clickable markers that open detailed information for each recorded earthquake.
