A map of global earthquake intensity, showing magnitude and density of seismic activity weighted by population (larger version
here). According to
Views of the World this map allows us "to understand the earthquake intensity in relation to today’s population distribution, and thus gives an idea of where most people are of risk related to seismic activity." The algorithm uses
kernel density estimation followed by a
density equalizing algorithm.
