How to use this site

Each marker is one incident. Its shape and color tell you what kind of infrastructure it is and how confident the record is — a small legend on the map explains both. Click any marker to open its full record: what happened, who’s attributed to it (and how disputed that attribution is), and a link to the original source. Zoom and drag the map like any other online map; clusters of nearby incidents expand as you zoom in.

The row of buttons above the map (All, Documented, Reported, Unconfirmed, Investigating) filters markers by evidence status — useful if you only want well-confirmed events, or specifically want to see what’s still unresolved.

The Map layers panel is collapsed by default so the map itself stays uncluttered. Open it to add overlays one at a time — oil tankers, pipelines, refineries, power stations, wind and solar farms, satellite imagery, a heat map of incident density, and more. Only turn on what you’re actually looking for; every layer you add is more markers on the map.

The scrolling strip near the top of the page is a live ticker of the latest incidents and market moves — click any item to jump straight to it. Below the map, the incident feed lists recent records in full, filtered to match whatever the map is currently showing. Further down, the Incidents by month panel is a bar chart of the whole dataset over time — click a bar to move the map’s timeline to that period.

Every incident traces back to a named publisher or primary document, listed in full in the searchable source directory further down the page. If you want to understand how evidence status is assigned, what regions and categories the site does and doesn’t cover well, and the reasoning behind specific calls, that’s all in About & methodology rather than repeated here.
