Coastal Carbon Atlas

The Coastal Carbon Atlas, part of the Coastal Carbon Network (CCN), is a centralized platform for accessing and analyzing coastal wetland carbon data. It provides curated public datasets, standardized using open-source R scripts, and interactive map tools. CCN supports contributors by helping release private data with proper attribution, offering DOI issuance through Smithsonian Libraries, and archiving under a Creative Commons License. The Atlas ensures data integrity, respects ownership, and includes bibliographies for proper citation. By enabling open access to quality-controlled data, the Atlas fosters collaboration and advances coastal carbon science.
