Chapter 2: An idea that becomes a collective dream materializes

In Chapter 2 of our “ATTO through time” blog, it is time to hear from Antonio Manzi, the first coordinator of the ATTO project on the Brazilian side. He recounts the vision of Amazonian scientists to build a tall tower in the 1980s, and how it finally became a reality nearly 30 years later.

The idea of a tall research tower in the Amazon is born in the late 1990s. Prof. Andreae remembers how it became a reality.

Most ATTO members actually spend very little time Most ATTO members actually spend very little time out in the forest - many would argue too little!
Usually it's just a few weeks each year, or a few days every couple of weeks. (And during the last year, we didn't get to go out there at all.) 

Instead, we spend the majority of our time in our research institutes and universities, in labs🧑‍🔬 and offices🧑‍💻, or currently in our homes🏘️, running lab experiments🧫, analyzing data📊, writing publications📝. So we wanted to share what these places look like.

We're starting out with the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany🇩🇪. Working here are different research groups that study greenhouse gas cycles, cycles of matter, VOCs and soil processes, just to name a few.
The institute is located on a science campus at the edge of town, right next to a nature reserve and with great views across the valley. In the last few weeks, there is was an unusual amount of ❄️, so what you can see here is a rare view with lots of snow in sunny @jenalichtstadt.

Check back to get to know our other core institutes!

🕷️ alert! Well, while we do have a few venomo 🕷️ alert!
Well, while we do have a few venomous spiders in the forest around ATTO, most aren't dangerous to us. However, the best policy when walking through the forest is to keep your eyes open and watch out for those little guys. It's best not to disturb them. and you wouldn't want to destroy their hard work, putting up those beautiful 🕸️, even of the ones who won't harm you. After all, it is their forest we're in!

🔊 SOUND ON! What's it like when a film crew is 🔊 SOUND ON!
What's it like when a film crew is on location at ATTO? What goes on behind the scenes? What does it take to create those epic shots you see on TV? This short video gives you a small glimpse. 
"He touches the leaf and the sun goes on. It's like you're Jesus." Thanks for the laughs @daniel_raz_rasmussen !
