The Air Quality Stripes images visualise historical changes in particulate matter air pollution in over 150 cities worldwide. The project celebrates significant improvements in air quality in regions like Europe, North America, and China while highlighting the urgent need for action in areas such as central Asia. Designed to raise awareness, the images aim to inspire discussions about the critical impact of air pollution and the global inequalities it causes.

Our study presents a method to visualize how variations in the relationship of flood drivers like discharge and surge evolve over time. This method simplifies complex relationships, making it easier to understand evolving flood risks, especially as climate change increases these threats. By surveying a diverse group, we found that this visual approach could improve communication between scientists and non-experts, helping communities better prepare for compound flooding in a changing climate.
