Gigantic blaze in the #Etosha National Park and around in #Namibia as seen from above Burnt area was estimated at nearly 1M hectares 2 days ago. That's more than all the fires in British Columbia this year 😳 Fortunately, it didn't grow much since then and appears to be contained #wildfire #Africa

So it's #TidyTuesday and we're looking at US retail #gasoline and #diesel prices of the last 30 years #rstats #dataviz ⛽ 🚗🚛

#Clouds cut with a knife 🔪☁️ from both below and above 😎 (with some sat imagery lag) #Montreal

So we just had a lame spring in #Quebec and wanted to see how obvious this was in the data So I made this calendar heatmap for #Montreal, showing : 🌡️ Max temperatures ☀️☁️ Hours of cloud cover 🌧️ Precipitations #weather #meteo #Rstats In short, May was indeed dull

Played with #Rstats and {rayshader} to make this #Quebec population density map, thanks to a tutorial by @milos-makes-maps.bsky.social ✌️⚜️ Code 👉 github.com/datacarvel/q...

A lake just... completely drained in Northern #Quebec, in a matter of days. Lake Rouge, ~70km SW of Chapais. Still a mystery, but it seems that a small natural dam has burst and all the water escaped. Sentinel-1 | Copernicus Programme | EU | SentinelHub

#TidyTuesday 1000+ grants of scientific research from the NIH and NSF were terminated under the current Trump admin. I compared their abstract against that list of 350+ banned words from federal sites and docs, with incendiary terms like "peanut allergies", "women" and "water quality". #rstats

#30DayChartChallenge Day 30 : NetGeo Theme Day [war horn in the distance] The story of #AgeOfEmpires2 since its original 1999 release and all the available civilizations to play with and attack others, group by region and version. #rstats #videogames

#30DayChallenge Day 29 : Extraterrestrial Here are the distances from Earth to other planets over time Hardly useful, really just neat waveforms 〰️🪐〰️ Maybe I'll create a #synth patch with these someday 🎹🎛️👀 #space #Jupiter #Saturn #SolarSystem

#30DayChartChallenge Day 27 : Noise Our #Sun 's level of activity since 1749, as indicated by its number of sunspots. Most coronal mass ejections come from these "colder" areas over the Sun. CMEs provoke the biggest aurora shows when Earth is in their way. #rstats #space

#30DayChartChallenge Day 26 : Monochrome #Bixi rides in #Montreal - notable increase in the number of rides 🚴🔥🔥🔥 And since last year, they are available year round ⛄ #Quebec #velo #bicycle

#30DayChartChallenge Day 13 : Clusters All the 95 confirmed moons of #Jupiter 🌚🌝 #rstats #space

#30DdayChartChallenge Day 24 : WHO data day Comparing levels of #depression of the migrant and non-migrant populations across 8 countries of the EU. Of course, I wish there was more recent data, maybe soon. Past 2019, I'm not sure what we should expect 😐 #rstars #europe #eurostat #mentalhealth

#30DayChartChallenge Day 23 : logscale A sequel to Day 4 : Everything that goes up... must go down. Also true for all the things we send to our lower orbit. All human objects that reentered our atmosphere since 2000. (not exactly log, but safe to say it will be one very soon 😬) #rstats #space

#30DayChartChallenge Day 21 : Fossils The price of gas at the pump of the last 35 years in constant 2025 $CAD ⛽🚘 It got more expensive, +/- 30%, although it's been impressively steady since 2010 in most cities. #rstats #canada #climatechange

#30DayChartChallenge Day 7 : Outliers (late submission) Let me tell you about one hell of a winter. Note the outlier in this chart on the right 🧐 This story is precisely about it. #rstats #Quebec #winter #snow #BlancSablon #thread

#30DayChartChallenge Day 5 : Ranking The #PLAYOFFS have begun! 🏒💥🥅👊 This graph shows the standing of the two #StanleyCup Final clubs at the end of the regular season. Cup Champions are highlighted in gold. See how far one lagging team can go 👀 #NHL #hockey #GoHabsGo #Canadiens #Montreal

#30DayChartChallenge Day 19 : Smooth Peak cherry blossom dates in #Kyoto, #Japan over the past 1213 years (yep) 🌸💮 Notice that little downward trend at the end? 😐 #sakura #rstats #dataviz

#30DayChartChallenge Day 15 : Complicated Like the relationship between the Republican Party/Trump and the white working class over the years, a popular narrative that is not so strong. #rstats

#30DayChartChallenge Day 14 : Kinship This huge ball of colorful hair is populated by all the music genres found on Wikipedia. Every node/dot is a genre, and every edge/ligne is a genealogical connection. #Music lovers should go play with it, it's interactive aquamarine-chaja-6da378.netlify.app

#30DayChartChallenge Day 12 : data.gov day Border crossings from #Canada and #Mexico to the #USA. In most cases, the biggest non-seasonal 2-month drop since 2020. It's still early though, as data from March is still not available. #rstats

#30DayChartChallenge Day 11 : Stripes Here in #Montreal, nights are officially considered "uncomfortable" when 20 °C (68 °F) or above (too warm) I know, for most of you this night temp is trival, maybe even ridiculous. Still, you can see how #climatechange might alter sleep. #rstats #weather

#30DayChartChallenge Day 9 : Multi-modal(ish?) Age demographics of QC I used the generation categories as defined by Statistics Canada. My takeaway here is that boomers are a larger cohort also because... well, the cohort has a larger year of birth range. #rstats #Canada #Quebec #demographics

Some accidental aRt in the process, maybe some other palette would make it even better #rstats #trippy

#30DayChartChallenge Day 9 : Diverging Animation special! See the evolution of Congress' ideological divide between Democrats and Republicans since WWII. Each dot is a member of Congress. Individual ideological standing is measured by researchers at voteview.com #rstats #congress #dataviz

#30DayChartChallenge Day 8 : Histogram The LOUDNESS WARS are still ongoing! 🔊💥 And they show no sign of cooling down... #rstats #loudness #music #history

#30DayChartChallenge Day 6 : Florence Nightingdale theme day Vehicule collision casualties in #Montreal through the decade 2012-2021 per type of traveler : 🚶🚴🏍️🚗 #rstats #urbanism #Quebec #dataviz

#30DayChartChallenge Day 4 : Big or Small The amount of launches of satellites, and hence all the human-made mass in the Lower Earth Orbit 🌎 (up to 600 km above us) went from small to very big quite fast 🛰️ thousands of metric tons! #space #spacex #starlink #satellites #rstats

#30DayChartChallenge Day 3 : circular Sunshine hours across Canadian cities 🌞🌞🌞 (yes, we have some) If you want to maximize sunshine this summer, apparently you should go to #Yellowknife... but there's a catch I might have an obsession with facets 🤔

#30DayChartChallenge Day 2 : Slopes Is Canada an enemy of the USA, according to the USA? 🌎 It seems the steepest slopes aren't found among the usual suspects 🤔 But they actually sort of "caught up" with the others (you decide whether there was anything worth catching up) #rstats #cdnpoli

Trying my first #30DayChartChallenge here 🤞 Day 1 : Fractions Bringing waffles at the office 🧇 Office Vacancy Rates in Canadian Cities as of now #rstats #dataviz #canada
