Meet Carla: The fascinating world of biocrusts

Hello, everyone! My name is Carla Webber and I’m the new post-doc in the Cryptogamic communities group at the ATTO. I’m a biocrust researcher and have worked on this subject for more than ten years. Biocrusts taught me to be an interdisciplinary researcher.

Meet Tarek: no research without instruments

My name is Tarek S. El-Madany and I’m the new head of the Central Service Group “Field Experiments and Instrumentation” at MPI-BGC in Jena. I am taking over from Olaf Kolle, who will be retiring this year. I’m a trained landscape ecologist and specialized in micrometeorology.

Meet Subha: Chasing tiny particles

I am Subha and I like to call myself an interdisciplinary researcher. I did civil engineering for my bachelor’s degree, and for my master’s degree, I worked on the applications of remote sensing and GIS. Now I work full-time at Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz with a wonderful team led by Christopher Pöhlker.

Meet Steffi: Chemical characterization of SOA and precursors

My name is Stefanie Hildmann and I am currently a PhD student in the group ‘Organic Trace Analysis’ of Prof. Thorsten Hoffmann at the Johannes Gutenberg – University of Mainz (Germany). In my PhD, I want to characterize secondary organic aerosols (SOA) chemically at the molecular level.

Meet Viviana: coordinating science and collaboration

Hi, my name is Viviana Horna. This April 2022 I started working at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry as the new scientific coordinator of the ATTO project. I studied tropical forestry in Peru for my BSc, where I am from.

Up to two-thirds of the soot over the central Amaz Up to two-thirds of the soot over the central Amazon originates in Africa😲. This is the result of a study now published in @nature_the_journal Communications Earth and Environment.
ATTO scientists (led by @bruaholanda) distinguished soot particles based on their properties and assigned them to their sources. They found that bushfires and burning savannahs🔥 in northern and southern Africa contribute significantly to air pollution in central Amazonia throughout the year, and thus also play an important role in the atmospheric radiation budget and the hydrological cycle.

Being able to work now in the Amazon Forest is an amazing dream! I really like this experience and I’m very excited to discover more about the Cryptogamic communities from this huge and important biome. I’ve been enthusiastic about ecology since I was a kid and I believe that cryptogamic communities are a big tool to support us to have a more sustainable planet."

Today is both #internationaldayofforests 🌳and # Today is both #internationaldayofforests 🌳and #worldpoetryday 📝. To celebrate, I asked #chatgpt to write a poem about the Amazon Rainforest and its importance to the climate. So here you go 😅

Amidst the trees so tall and green,
Lies a world like none you've seen,
The Amazon Rainforest, a true treasure,
A vital part of our planet's measure.

Its beauty and bounty beyond compare,
A home to countless creatures rare,
It purifies the air we breathe,
And helps our climate to relieve.

The rainforest's role is clear and true,
Its importance for us all to view,
For it sustains life both near and far,
A priceless gem, our guiding star.

Let us protect and cherish it with care,
For the Amazon Rainforest is beyond compare,
And with its preservation, we can ensure,
A future that's bright, healthy, and pure.

The 📷 photo here was taken by our newly installed webcam. Unfortunately, our internet connection does not allow us to stream these pictures live yet, we hope to be able to bring this to you in the future!
