The A2A Database Project

Welcome to the Archaea to Atmosphere Database (A2A-DB), a cross-disciplinary database designed to store all the data generated and analyzed by the Archaea to Atmosphere (A2A) project. The goal of A2A is to understand methane emissions in thawing permafrost landscapes under climate change, from micro to global scales.

The A2A-DB is an extension of the IsoGenie Database (IsoGenieDB), which you can learn about here. The A2A-DB and the IsoGenieDB are overlapping Neo4j graph databases that integrate data in a shared queryable framework. The code used for importing data is open source, and is available on our Bitbucket page.

For a detailed overview of the database and its capabilities, please see the following manuscript:
