In our new #HIGHtech blog, Phd student Ingrid Chanca (@MPI_BGC & @uff_br) shares how she uses radiocarbon for carbon cycle studies in the Amazon and what it was like to build a gas purification system to be able to use that method. #VoicesFromTheAmazon

Our new @PNASNews paper tracks tree mortality every 3 month following El Niño drought and fires in the Amazon. Here we give a break down of the results and possible solutions for #Fires in the region:

🧵Thread on the "Failing Amazon Carbon Sink" paper by Gatti et al last week.

Nutshell: Amazon has been a carbon sink for decades; now it's switching to a carbon source.

Gatti et al tracked CO2 & CO in AIR ITSELF to measure regional CO2 balance. 1/n

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

This is Ingrid and as part of her PhD project, she This is Ingrid and as part of her PhD project, she has built a purification system for gas samples, in order to measure radiocarbon in atmospheric CO2. Sounds complicated?🤯 She explains is all in our latest #HIGHtech blog.🤓 "My name is Ingrid Chanca and I am a physicist. I am currently pursuing my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, in Jena, Germany in the ATTO project and at the Physics Department of the @uffoficial, in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For my research, I am particularly interested in radiocarbon, a radioisotope of carbon. [...] In my PhD project, I use radiocarbon to get insights into the transit time and age of the carbon in the Amazon rainforest. In order to mitigate global warming, it is important not only to know if the forest can store large amounts of CO2 but also for how long. Therefore, it is essential that we are able to accurately estimate those times. [...] To achieve a sample that is both clean and convertible to graphite, we use a purification system. Especially for air samples from ATTO, I have built the GASPS, a Gas Samples’ Purification System." You can find the entire blog on our website.

Our very own Luciana Gatti from @inpe.oficial is t Our very own Luciana Gatti from @inpe.oficial is the first author of the @nature_the_journal study about the carbon sink of the Amazon rainforest. They found that human activities like deforestation, and climate change, limit the Amazon forest's potential to store carbon. The team gathered their data with many small aircraft flights in four regions across Amazonia. In particular the south-eastern Amazon already acts as a net carbon source now, since this region was especially impacted by deforestation, warming and moisture stress. It's very bad news indeed, but at least this crucial finding is getting a lot of attention, being reported on by the @nytimes and other news outlets across the world. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #carbonsink #carbonsource #
📍SAVE THE DATE We are pleased to inform all AT 📍SAVE THE DATE We are pleased to inform all ATTO researchers that we will once again hold a project workshop this year. 📆 It will take place in the week of October 4-8, over 3-5 half days (Brazilian mornings/German afternoons), depending on the number of posters submitted and discussion groups formed. To enhance communication during the ATTO workshop, each day will have only a few invited plenary talks, to allow ample time for posters and discussion groups. If you are interested in presenting a poster or suggesting/forming a discussion group, please register by August 23. Registration for attendees without a presentation will remain open until September 30. The registration form for ATTO members is available on the ATTO website, check the link our bio. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Our blog #VoicesFromTheAmazon has a new series! In Our blog #VoicesFromTheAmazon has a new series! In "Where are they now" you will hear from ATTO alumni, who share with us where their career paths have taken them after working in the project. Kicking it off is Renato Braghiere (@renatobrgh), once a Masters student at @usp.oficial, working at ATTO. Today, he's a climatologist at @nasajpl. How did he get there?
