GeoMeteorites is an interactive visualization of the history of meteorites on Earth, using D3 and Three.js. It was developed in 2018 as a group project for the EPFL Data Visualization course (COM-480).
A pre-recorded demo is also available here.
The following sources were used for the data:
- The meteorites data (date, coordinates, composition) is from this dataset collected by the Meteoritical Society and published by NASA
- The mapping from coordinates to country was performed using OpenStreetMap data
- Information on notable meteoric events is taken from the International Comet Quarterly
