The magnitude of the global refugee crisis can be hard to grasp, especially when numbers and stats can read so stale. But a new map turns data into an engaging, hyper-visual depiction of refugee movement.*
The map, created by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Community Robotics, Education, and Tech**logy Empowerment (CREATE) Lab (http://www.cmucreatelab.org/), shows the movement of refugees around the world between 2000 and 2015. The map makes the crisis easier to engage with, putting particular attention on Afghanistan, South Sudan, Somalia, and Syria. *
