Large Smoke events in the Americas this last week. A few days ago about 5.2M km2 of N. America had a continuous layer of smoke, this morning an roughly equally large smoke cloud is over the Amazon. @AerosolWatch @NASAEarth

And that is why you should always take a flashlight when you go to the bathroom at night!

You work in the Amazon? Oh wow! So how do you go to the bathroom?
Well....

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

How do you detect changes in the canopy of the thi

How do you detect changes in the canopy of the thick amazon forests? How do you find places of windthrows or other tree mortality?
The answer is drones.😎

Master student Adriana Simonetti figured out a way to fly a drone over large areas of largely undisturbed forest to captures images of the canopy that she would analyze afterward to monitor canopy disturbances. One of the biggest challenges was not to lose the drone when it loses radio control.

Read our latest HIGH-Tech on the ATTO website to learn more about her project (link in bio).⤴️ #VoicesFromTheAmazon

Congrats also to Adriana, who recently graduated, but will remain a part of ATTO as she continues on, pursuing her PhD🎉.

Our researchers and technicians in Germany not only refreshed their first-aid skills recently. They also had a safety training for working in heights.

They went to the Wetzstein in Southern Thuringia, where the MPI-BGC has a small measurement tower. With the help of rescue professionals from FIGUTH ALPIN and @die_johanniter Unfallhilfe they practiced the correct use of climbing equipment and rescuing people from a tower that had had an accident.
While we hope it will never be necessary to put this rescue experience to use, this training is very important and might save lives, if it ever came to it.
On top, it's a fantastic team-building experience and great fun, too
SWIPE 👉 for more impressions from the course.

Don't worry, nobody got hurt!😅

What you see here is the annual first-aid course of ATTO members in Germany. Once a year, researchers from @maxplanckinstituteforchemistry and MPI-BGC meet and in small groups refresh their knowledge on first-aid with hands-on practice. Some of the participants will put on make-up and fake blood🩸 so that the experience is as real as possible for the helpers. Professionals from FIGUTH ALPIN and @die_johanniter Unfallhilfe were there to train everyone so that they all would be able to help if an accident ever happened at ATTO🤕.

Today's Earth Overshoot Day serves as a reminder of how we as humans globally live way beyond the resources our planet has to offer. This includes things such as food🎣, but also our combined carbon footprint👣.

The Amazon rainforest not only is an important sink for carbon (for now), but also currently stores massive amounts, safely locked away in biomass and soils. There are many reasons why we should preserve the natural wonder that is the Amazon rainforest. But if you're looking for that should convince everyone, then it is the fact that we cannot afford to lose this carbon reservoir and risk billions of gigatons of extra carbon being released into the atmosphere.

SWIPE👉 to see how much carbon is stored in the Amazon😲.
