Fieldnotes 2024 to 2025: Collaboration visualizer
Fieldnotes 2024 -2025: Collaboration Visualizer
Each year DFO Science staff team up with a broad range of regional, provincial, national and international collaborators for the planning, design, delivery, and evaluation of field research and monitoring.
Chord diagrams illustrate the connection between DFO Science and collaborators. Each strand represents a unique collaboration between DFO and a collaborator. The length of the box in front of each collaborator is proportional to the number of unique field operations engaged in by that collaborator.
In 2024-2025, we expect to team up with 153 unique collaborators to advance research and monitoring through 99 field operations (largest chord diagram).
The smaller chord diagrams help visualize the collaborations of the 6 Science divisions and are sized proportionally to the number of field operations each division is engaged in.
