Seeing data move on maps isn’t new, but researchers have been trying to push new research into effectively displaying dynamic data on interactive maps. This can be incredibly useful for gaining insights and communicating those insights to a broader audience. A recent visualization from Jeffery Stephens and Space for Giants used Torque and CartoDB to analyze elephant movement across the landscape, revealing patterns of where and when elephants were crossing protected areas into nearby farming lands. The visualization was created by reducing a year's worth of data into a single day and mapping it over a 24-hour clock, showing dominant patterns of elephant movement. Researchers are now sharing their techniques and tools, including Torque library on GitHub, to help others create similar dynamic visualizations.
