Abstract

This paper focuses on multiple visualization techniques for mapping pandemics with respect to space and time. With the use of maps and other statistical information, a link between the spread of Influenza A(H1N1) and international air travel follows from the Bio. Diaspora Project [2]. The study area for this project focuses on North America, specifically Canada and the United States. However, the spread of the disease is worldwide. Worldwide trends, as well as trends in the Western Hemisphere were taken into consideration. The methodology behind this project is complex as the geographic region examined is vast. With data coming from a variety of sources multiple assumptions were made. The assumptions used lead to different visualization techniques.
