Plotly

🌋 We just turned the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Kaggle Global Volcano Database into a fully interactive dashboard with a density map, bubble map, treemap, violin plot, box plot, histogram, and rich geographic views that reveal patterns instantly. See the app here: https://2fbf8f29-b2f0-4966-92f4-7774cd000956.plotly.app

The maps show tectonic-scale clustering along plate boundaries. The tables and graphs compare across volcano types, countries, and eruption histories. Beautiful interactive visuals can make a complex global dataset intuitive, easy, and fun to explore.

What would normally take months of data prep, code, meetings, emails, spreadsheets, and iteration came together in a few minutes of chat with no heavy lifting. And one click to securely publish to the Plotly Cloud 🙌

Plotly Studio makes it possible for anyone to instantly go from raw CSVs or databases to publication-ready collaborative analytics, statistics, data science, and maps.

Try it yourself, download the dataset, and build something better: https://plotly.com/studio/benchmarks/volcano-db-csv/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social-organic&utm_campaign=matt-benchmarking-dashboards&utm_content=27jan2026

Using Plotly Studio, you can upload or connect to any data source and make and share world-class interactive dashboard in seconds for free. No prompting or coding required. Here’s an example built with Gapminder Foundation data where Studio generated the full app on the first go. With one additional prompt, we added a bubble chart to explore GDP per capita and life expectancy with sizing based on population and color based on continent.
