I'm surprised that "climate change" doesn't appear on the list.

Gord McNickle and I did a fun little project where we animated the
word associations in Ecology
abstracts over time. Words that are closer together in the animation
occur more frequently in the
same abstract. Those associations change over time, and scholars of
the field may detect trends
and cycles in the changing associations!

We used the VOS mapping and clustering technique as used in the VOS
Viewer software
(www.vosviewer.com) and described in Van Eck & Waltman 2010 (J of
the Am Soc for
Information Science & Technology) and references therein. To create
fluid animations, we added
an "inertia" term to their objective function that weights each
word's spatial location in the
previous frame.
