COVID-19 Dashboard

Assistant Professor of Geology Zelalem Demissie and his students have created a dashboard of data visualizations that chart the spread of COVID-19 in the state of Kansas. Unique among maps of this type, Demissie's dashboard includes a time-series map animation. The dashboard provides information about the spread but also allows any WSU-related department to add charts of different kinds. Demissie’s students have also created a full story map to accompany the dashboard with video and other resources.
