Data visualisation: New York City’s daily greenhouse gas emissions

The research team at Carbon Visuals has created this compelling 3D animation, which explores the scale and rate of atmospheric pollution, in real-time, in the City of New York.

Guardian News Interactive Talk Through

This Guardian interactive graphic caught my attention. Video inserts of science correspondent Ian Sample talking readers through developments at the badly damaged nuclear plant at Fukushima helped give credence to the small amount of information that was being received from Japanese authorities.

(Note: Japan's officials are still battling to prevent further spread of radioactivity in the region. Read more.)

Whitney Artport Idea Line

Created by Martin Wattenberg, the Idea Line (2001) was the first internet artwork commissioned for the Whitney Artport.
