#sciencecanwait is also our motto. Many in the ATTO team are currently making the tough decision to postpone their fieldwork. We don't want to bring #COVIDー19 to the Amazon and put the people there at risk. #AcademicTwitter https://t.co/y75tpYdjUr

Carsten Simon studies dissolved organic matter at ATTO, among other places. Recently, he defended his PhD thesis on "Identification of ecosystem-specific markers in terrestrial dissolved organic matter (DOM) by Orbitrap mass spectrometry". Congratulations! https://t.co/YcIFzdKplh

The #EGU20 letter of schedule and programme have been released! Visit our programme page https://t.co/qKooEVwFKJ to see the current EGU programme. But a lot of people have been asking us whether the GA will proceed given the current situation with the #coronavirus (1/6) https://t.co/ETX0nxs6Hj

Studying interactions between forest & atmosphere and their impact on the climate from an observatory with a 325m tall tower in the Amazon rainforest

Take a walk in the woods🌲🌳!⁣ ⁣ We're all Take a walk in the woods🌲🌳!⁣ ⁣ We're all asked to stay at home and avoid gatherings of people these days due to #covid_19. But that doesn't mean you have to be cooped up inside all day long. A long walk in the forest is the perfect opportunitz to get a breath of fresh air.⁣ Granted, most people don't have the Amazon Rainforest at their doorstep like @eliane.alves.li here. But any forest (or meadow🌼 or field🌾 or beach 🏖or mountainside⛰) will do. Being in nature is the best way to get some distance from the crazy world out there.⁣ ⁣ #walkinthewoods #intothewoods #forest #forestviews #forestwalk #socialdistancing #Amazonia #amazonrainforest #AmazonResearch #fieldwork #lifeofascientist
Harpies are mythical creatures, deeply embedded in Harpies are mythical creatures, deeply embedded in Greek mythology and even modern pop culture. What you see here is an Harpy Eagle, a very real 🦅. They live in the forests of South- and Middle America and are among the largest and strongest of all birds of prey. Despite their size, harpy eagles elusive, maybe because they mostly keep to themselves. Or because they are so well camouflaged. Yet sometimes we are lucky enough to spot one near ATTO, and if we are even luckier, able to catch it on 📷. Harpy eagle have short wings in relation to their body size. This allows them to hunt even in the jungle. Their preferred preys are monkeys and sloths. They might be a bit scary, but they are also beautiful in their strength and dignity, don't you think? 📷 by Fabian Studerus / HighStep #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #Amazonia #AmazonResearch #tropicalecology #tropicalforests #ecology #harpyeagle #harpy #tropicalbirds #birdsoftheamazon #birdofprey
It may be hard to believe, but this is actually on It may be hard to believe, but this is actually one of our small towers😲. At just 80 meters tall, it is tiny compared to the 325 meter tall tower. But if you see it by itself, twice as high as the average Amazonian trees 🌳, it seems quite tall nontheless. Our 80 meter so-called "walk-up tower" has stairs as well, unlike the 80 meter mast. Bianca was on the tall tower when she took this photo, observing two people climbing, presumably to maintain instruments installed there. 📷 by Bianca Lauster / @maxplanckinstituteforchemistry #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #talltower #researchtower
ATTO is located in the middle of the rainforest an ATTO is located in the middle of the rainforest and we get a lot of rainstorms 🌧 that pass over the site. Sometimes, there are thunderstorms, too⛈. And all of our towers make perfect lightning rods, as I'm sure you can imagine. After all, they are spindly steel structures rising far above anything else around. To keep our team safe, we have a strict ⛔ no-access policy for the towers in case of a thunderstorm. It's the job of lightning protection measures to protect our instruments that are permanently installed on the tower. Unfortunately, those are not always enough. Swipe 👉 to see pictures of pieces of equipment after a particularly bad lightning strike⚡. It pierced a steel plate and fried an electric board. Incidents like that can shut down instruments for weeks or months at a time before they are repaired, so this can be a big pain. But nature is running its course and all we can do is get the best protection we can and then hope for the best!🤞 📽 by Karl Kübler / MPI-BGC. 📷 by Maria Praß / MPI-C & Karl Kübler / MPI-BGC. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #atmosphericscience #thunderstorm #lightning #cumulusnimbus #lightningstrike
