Welcome to the UC Davis Library subject guide for atmospheric science. This guide provides links to key information resources in air quality, meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, and climate dynamics.
Articles and Dissertations
Online access to citations and abstracts for every title in the UMI Dissertation Abstracts database; since 1997, provides full-text access to dissertations. Access is free to UC Campus dissertations.
The Earth, Atmospheric & Aquatic Science Database includes the renowned Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA), Oceanic Abstracts, and Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts (MGA). It provides full-text titles from around the world, including scholarly journals, trade and industry journals, magazines, technical reports, conference proceedings, and government publications. The database includes specialized references and resources studying the critical issues affecting Earth’s air, land, and water environments.

Data Management
Will you be starting a project from scratch that will require your attention for months, even years OR are you continuing a project started by somebody else?
The Data Management Program is here to help make both of these situations less painful. We can help you with
- Organization: keep track of your files so that you know what is in them
- Consistent data entry: design data collection forms in such a way that everybody doing the same experiment records the results the same way every time
- Database structure: move from unwieldy spreadsheets to databases
- GIS and maps: consult with our GIS expert on all stages of a project that includes geospatial data, from planning to creating interactive maps.
- Finding data: not all data sharing portals are obvious, and we can help with that.
- Cleaning data: stop doing repetitive copy/paste; check out some of our workshops to find a better way
- Getting credit for data: get your dataset noticed and cited by placing it in the right data repository
Note: many funding agencies require that you provide open access to your data!
