The best of last week’s big and small data visualizations
Rose Mintzer-Sweeney
Welcome back to the 30th edition of Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we’ll be publishing a collection of the best small and large data visualizations we find, especially from news organizations — to celebrate data journalism, data visualization, simple charts, elaborate maps, and their creators.
Recurring topics this week include the volcanic eruption near Tonga, an increasing rate of job resignations, and the threat of war in Ukraine.
As tensions escalated this week, several maps and charts explored the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine:
