Map of Ireland showing thousands of shipwreck locations plotted as faint white points around the coastline on a black background.
Area chart showing babies named Arya across Britain and Ireland from the 1990s to 2024. Counts remain low until the 2011 premiere of Game of Thrones, after which the name becomes much more popular, peaking in the early 2020s.
Scatterplot of video game film franchises showing the relationship between average Rotten Tomatoes critic score and average revenue per film. Each point represents a franchise, with point size and transparency indicating number of films in the franchise and colour indicating whether the franchise is a blockbuster (10+ films), major franchise (3-9 films), or a single/sequel franchise (1-2 films). Labels highlight selected high-performing franchises.

A horizontal dot plot showing repair success rates across 14 categories of items brought to repair cafés. Each category is listed on the y-axis, and the x-axis shows the percentage of successful repairs from 50% to 100%. Each category has a dot connected by a thin line. The size of each dot represents the number of repair attempts, with larger dots indicating more attempts. A vertical dashed line marks the average success rate (around 75%). Categories like Textile, Tools (non-electric), and Bicycles have high success rates (above 85%), while categories such as Display and sound equipment and Computer equipment and phones have lower success rates (around 55–60%) despite having large numbers of repair attempts. The chart highlights that while most items can be repaired successfully, some high-volume categories have comparatively lower repair success rates.
A multi-line time-series plot showing yearly ocean temperatures (in Celsius) across different ocean depths. The depths range from 2 meters up to 40 meters. The graph shows the at the beginning of the year (in Winter) the temperature of the ocean is relatively similar across different depths (approx 5 degrees Celsius). However, as we get closer to late Spring / early Summer (around May) the lines on the graph begin to diverge. Temperatures begin to rise more rapidly at shallower depths and (when compared to deeper depths) become hotter. For example, depths of less than 10 meters can reach temperatures of around 18 degrees Celsius, whereas depths of between 30 - 40 meters only reach temperatures of around 10 degrees Celsius.
A spiral graph showing the first one thousand digits of pi. The spiral begins inward with the first number of pi (3) and gradually grows outward fading slowly until it reaches the final number (8).
Map of Norway showing where farmed salmon are lost across aquaculture regions. Each county is represented by four coloured circles placed around the county centre. The circles show the total number of salmon lost between different causes: red for fish that died, yellow for fish that were discarded, teal for escaped fish, and grey for other losses. Circle size represents the number of fish lost, with larger circles indicating greater losses. Across most counties, the red circles representing fish mortality are much larger than the other categories, indicating that most losses are due to fish dying rather than escaping or being discarded. Escaped fish and discarded fish are present in many regions but at much smaller scales. Losses are concentrated along Norway’s western and northern coastline, where most aquaculture activity occurs. Inland regions show few or no losses. Overall, the map highlights that mortality dominates salmon losses across Norway’s aquaculture industry, with escapes and other causes contributing smaller shares.
Dot plot showing how people interpret common probability phrases on a 0–100% likelihood scale. Phrases like “Almost No Chance” and “Highly Unlikely” appear near 0%, “About Even” sits around 50%, and phrases such as “Likely,” “Very Good Chance,” and “Highly Likely” cluster above 90%, with “Will Happen” interpreted as essentially certain. Several middle phrases—including “May Happen,” “Might Happen,” and “Could Happen”—are interpreted very similarly, highlighting ambiguity in everyday probability language
Line plots showing how much grant funding 7 universities in Ireland received from Science Foundation Ireland over a 25 year period. These universities include (in order of total grant funding): Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, University of Galway, University College Cork, University of Limerick, Dublin City University, and Maynooth University. Overall, Science Foundation Ireland committed 3.46 billion euro into university research.
Multiple line plots showing the population increase/decrease in different animals from New Zealand across time. The animals include; sheep, poultry, horses, goats, deer, chickens, and cattle. Overall most of this populations have declined with time. However, the chicken population has been steadily increasing.
A map of Ireland showing active and abandoned railway lines.
A map of Maynooth located in county Kildare, Ireland. The map features both major and minor roads of Maynooth, along with its canals, railway line, and local university.
A horizontal bar plot showing the total scheduled hours for each event in the 2026 Winter Olympics. There are 16 different events ranging from Ice hokey, figure skating, to cross-country skiing. The bars are arranged by total scheduled hours with both ice-hockey and curling having the most scheduled hours (125 and 122 hours, respectively)
A map showing the top five most spoken languages in Africa. The languages include: Arabic, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, and Oromo. According to the map, Arabic is the most spoken language with approx 150 million speakers across multiple countries.
