Great New Data Graphics Worth Looking At — DataViz Weekly
Summary
That is what Inga Ting, Nathanael Scott, Alex Palmer, and Michael Workman from ABC’s Digital Story Innovations team found out in a months-long journalistic investigation into gambling-related political payments. So it is possible to differentiate at a glance between built-up areas, crops, grass, ice and snow, lichen and moss, mangroves, shrubs, trees, (bare) vegetation, water, and wetland. Additionally, don’t miss out on checking out the Statistics tab where you can pick a country — and even a region within — to see a bar chart showing how widespread each land cover class is over there.

The Guardian’s Niko Kommenda, Niels de Hoog, and Ashley Kirk calculated the CO2 “center of gravity” for each year since 1800 — by taking an average of all countries’ geographic coordinates weighted by the amount of their annual emissions — and visualized its moves over time in an animated map.
