Worldmapper — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 14:00:50 +0000

Of the over 2,500 tweets that Joe Biden has tweeted over the presidential account since he became president, slightly less than half (1,213) made references to other countries by the end of 2023. The United States of America were excluded from this analysis, so that the USA disappear from this map. The cartogram provides a picture of which countries appear to have be most prominent in Joe Biden’s foreign policy in that period, as his presidential account appeared overall more carefully curated than that of his predecessor. By the end of 2023, a total of 85 countries were mentioned at least once. The top countries in his tweets from 2021 to 2023 were: Ukraine, 19 per cent (228 tweets) Russia, 17 per cent (204 tweets) North Korea, 6 per cent (78 tweets) Mexico, 6 per cent (74 tweets) Japan, 4 per cent (49 tweets) South Korea, 4 per cent (49 tweets)

Of the over 50,000 tweets that Donald Trump has tweeted since he joined the social network Twitter, almost 23,000 were tweeted since he was elected president in November 2016. The cartogram shows a context analysis of all tweets (excluding retweets) made between his election in November 2016 and the November 2020 election when he lost his office. Tweets made in the transition period since November 2020 until the suspension of his account in January did not contain any significant mentions of foreign countries but were almost exclusively related to domestic matters. The United States of America were excluded from this analysis, so that the USA disappear from this map. Puerto Rico as an unincorporated territory of the US was included in the analysis, as it was treated like a foreign country in the Tweets. The cartogram provides a picture of which countries appear to have be most prominent in Donald Trump’s foreign policy in that period, since the social media network was one of the main means of communication during his presidency and was often and widely used and cited in the international media. In his presidency, 2,252 individual references to other countries have been made until 3 November 2020, with a total of 92 countries having been mentioned at least once. The top countries in his tweets were: China, 19 per cent (436 tweets) Russia, 16 per cent (367 tweets) North Korea, 8 per cent (182 tweets) Mexico, 7 per cent (156 tweets) Ukraine 4 per cent (94 tweets) More information about this map and a series of cartograms showing each year of Donald Trumps presidency in tweets can also be found in our blog: While he was tweeting: Mapping four years of Donald Trump's foreign policy

Anthropocene Worlds

Worldmapper — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 20:00:36 +0000

This map shows the land surface resized by its population overlaid with data related to human action and interaction on the planet. Each transformed grid cell in the map is proportional to the total number of people living in that area.

Data sources
This map uses population estimates for the year 2020 based on data from the Gridded Population of the World (GPW), v4 at 0.25 degree resolution, released by SEDAC (Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center). The information of an interconnected world redrawn in this map was assembled by Globaïa. The following datasets were used (accessed October 2016):
– Roads, railways, pipelines, transmission lines: Mapability.com
– Submarine cables: Cablemap.info
– Air routes: ICAO stats
– Shipping lanes: NCEAS data
– Built-up areas: NaturalEarth and SAGE
– Earth at night: NASA

All Ships registered 2016

Panama is still the leading 'flag state' for ships registered when it comes to the absolute number of ships, followed by the Marshall Islands and Liberia. Malta is the first European country on place 6. There is a business practice called 'Flag of convenience (FOC)w' hereby a ship's owners register a merchant ship in a ship register of a country other than that of the ship's owners, and the ship flies the civil ensign of that country, called the flag state.[ Each merchant ship is required by international law to be registered in a registry created by a country, and a ship is subject to the laws of that country, which are used also if the ship is involved in a case under admiralty law. A ship's owners may elect to register a ship in a foreign country which enables it to avoid the regulations of the owners’ country which may, for example, have stricter safety standards.

Air traffic Accidents 1972 to 2017

tina-gotthardt — Thu, 02 Jan 2020 19:07:29 +0000

This map shows the relative proportion of civil air traffic accidents having pulled a plane destruction between 1972 and 2017.

Data sources
This map uses data by Airfleets.Net (last accessed March 2018). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.

The data included all the plane accidents having pulled a plane destruction. Only accidents occurred on an Airfleets supported aircraft are recorded

Further notes on the data, as well as all modifications to the original data source are noted in our data sheets.
