Michael Porath, a product manager, is obsessed with data and has a pretty impressive resume. One of his projects is Global Land Temperatures. This project displays over 100 years of average monthly land temperature data collected from over 7,200 climate monitoring stations which have appeared and disappeared in NOAA’s data set.
Another project is the Manifest Destiny Project which Destiny portrays the territorial evolution of the United States from 1790 to the present, covering important milestones such as the Louisiana Purchase or the Civil War.
Worldometers is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. Worldometers is owned by Dadax, an independent company.
