Journal article: Incremental Material Flow Analysis with Bayesian Inference

This article uses Sankey diagrams to visualise the results of an uncertain Material Flow Analysis. floWeaver was used to structure the diagrams and calculate the colours, which indicate the level of uncertainty about each flow.

The floWeaver code to produce this diagram is available on Github. Note that this used an older version of floWeaver, where some details of the API for overriding flow colours were different.
