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)

*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.

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...

Defense Against Dishonest Charts

This is a guide to protect ourselves and to preserve what is good about turning data into visual things.

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!

$A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.$

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

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
