earthquake-hotspots

Visualization project for Earthquake Hotspots based on the USGS data feed.

#Demo Magnetum Projects

#Libraries D3 for the data visualization
TopoJSON for the worldmap visualization
jQuery for creating the Interface UI
jQuery SlimScroll for a nicer scroll bar

#Core The core functionalities are located in the shaked.js inside the /js folder.

#For the Future

  • improve script performance (currently the animation can render approx. 100-150 max. JSON data-entries before slowing down the browser...or crashing it)
  • split shaked.js into separate files with similar functionalities, e.g one js file for loading the data feed, one for building the UI and so on
  • add TopoJSON as a git submodule for easier updates (been too git-lazy to do this...)
  • automatically refresh the page after one hour
