How can relationships between different types of visualization be represented visually? How can we visualize the information visualization ‘design space’? This is Bryan Chen's Master thesis project – you can help by exploring the visuals & answering the questions at: forms.fillout.com/t/sYLcKghThrus

An alternative to plotting time: instead, use the horizontal axis to plot a second variable, and animate the chart to show changes over time (also used by the great Hans Rosling)

Hello, Bluesky! 👋 I'm an HCI & data visualization researcher, currently exploring AI-driven climate communication. Looking to connect with folks in #HCI, #DataViz, #ClimateChange, and #Academia. Who else is here?

There are a few days left to apply for The Club of Rome Communication Fellowship, a remote, paid 7-month opportunity for early-career professionals interested in sustainability and systems change. Apply now ➡️ shorturl.at/rRMpw #Communications #Fellowship

After the AfD's surge on Sunday, far right parties are the most voted-for of any grouping in Europe, for the first time in history: www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

Join us online on Thu 20 March 18:00–19:00 CET: *Visualising climate science* by Angela Morelli Visualisation is a powerful tool for navigating the complexity of climate change. However, visualising climate science can confuse, misinform or polarise. Register at: www.eventbrite.at/e/iiid-conve...

Dishonest charts are coming from all directions, and they're only going to hit harder. Unless we push back. So, an interactive guide: Defense Against Dishonest Charts flowingdata.com/projects/dis...

“Never before has the danger of climate change been so evident and the response so cavalier.”

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

The Dutch @knmi.bsky.social Institute has just published ‘De Staat van het Klimaat 2024’, showing worrisome climate-related developments in very good visualizations. You can flip through (and download) the full report here: cdn.knmi.nl/system/data_... @maartenvanaalst.bsky.social @fruys.bsky.social

Bedankt 🇳🇱!

Remarkable chart by @data.ft.com Many readers won't fully understand boxplots. At a quick glance, they don't add much information here. But then, look at the lower end of the 2024 whisker (or 2015 for the previous El Niño)! Also: I just love the aesthetic 🤩 #dataviz www.ft.com/content/fd91...

To visualize daily temperature anomalies since 1940, BBC News uses a ridgeline chart (yes, the Joy Division kind): www.bbc.com/news/article...

Five years ago today (in 2019), I posted my New Year's resolution for 2020 📊, and it now seems more urgent than ever ... 🤔 www.linkedin.com/pulse/climat...

The annual climate cycle presents a good opportunity to use a radial or polar chart, allowing us to visualize seasonal patterns. It's super interesting to see the geophysical differences between climate zones in the US. #rstats #dataviz 📖 dominicroye.github.io/en/2021/clim...

It's been a while since the Data Vis Dispatch devoted some time to climate visualizations, so here we go: from AI emissions to snowfall to floods to climate conference attendees: Find more topics here: https://blog.datawrapper.de/data-vis-dispatch-november-19-2024/

Ok, time seems appropriate for a proper (re)introduction. Last week, I joined the Development Data Group of the World Bank as a data visualization consultant. I'll be mainly working on the next edition of the Sustainable Development Goals Atlas (2023 edition here: datatopics.worldbank.org/sdgatlas)

The majority of CO₂ emissions were emitted relatively recently. Our new interactive tool shows how much has been added in your lifetime alone. www.zeit.de/wissen/umwel...

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

Show your stripes: these ones show ocean acidification. Many people don’t know that this is more than enough reason to phase out fossil fuels fast, even if CO2 didn’t cause global warming (which of course it does). Other ocean basins here: oceanacidificationstripes.info/s/ph/basin/g...

If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history... ...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred... ...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

May #Temperature highlights from the #CopernicusClimate Change Service (#C3S) Last month was: 🌡warmer than any previous May on record, at 0.65°C above the 1991-2020 average; 🌡 the 12th month in a row that is the warmest on record for the respective month of the year. For more 👉 bit.ly/4e8yFWG
