⏰Hybrid Event Alert! 👩‍🏫👨‍💻
On Nov 3rd, during the @BerlinSciWeek the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin @emb_berlim will host an event about ATTO. Our coordinators as well as junior and senior project scientists will talk about the different aspects of our unique research at ATTO.

For a new study in @EGU_BioGeo Prass et al. used the FISH method to distinguish bioaerosols down to the domain level in samples from the Amazon rainforest at ATTO.

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

⏰Hybrid Event Alert! 👩‍🏫👨‍💻 On ⏰Hybrid Event Alert! 👩‍🏫👨‍💻 On Nov 3rd, during the @berlinscienceweek the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin (brasilianische_botschaft) will host an event about ATTO. Junior and senior project scientists will talk about the different aspects of our unique research in the Amazon Rainforest, as well as our outreach work with local river communities near ATTO. You will hear from: - ATTO coordinators Susan Trumbore and @beto.quesada - Emeritus professor and long-time ATTO member Jürgen Kesselmeier (@maxplanckinstituteforchemistry) - researchers @eliane.alves.li and @flaviadurgante - PhD students Santiago Botía and @bruaholanda There are two ways to attend the event: 1) in-person at 3pm CET at the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin. 2G rules apply, availability is limited. 2) virtual at 3pm CET / 11am BRT, open for all. ❗Registration is FREE but required for both virtual and the on-site event. JOIN US! To register, and for further info, use the link in our bio.
These are tiny particles filtered from the air at These are tiny particles filtered from the air at ATTO. What you see is a cluster of bacterial cells in red, and fungal spores in orange. Because these particles are of biological origin (compared to dust particles, for example) they are called bioaerosols. PhD student Maria (@maxplanckinstituteforchemistry ) made them glow in these fluorescent colors as part of an analytical technique called FISH (Fluorescence in situ hybridization). Particles get stained in different colors based on DNA and RNA sequences. That means FISH makes it possible to distinguish different bioaerosol types from each other, even when they stick together in clusters. Being able to do that is important, because bioaerosol likely influence cloud formation and precipitation, and different types of bioaerosols do that in different ways. For example, some aerosols might be better at helping to form clouds than others. Maria and her colleagues recently published their results from their FISH study in the journal Biogeochemistry.

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🎉. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #treemortality #drones #dronesforscience #dronepilot #forestcanopy #tropicalforestscience
Our researchers and technicians in Germany not onl 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. 📷 by Steffen Schmidt. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #talltower #researchtower #workinginheights #rescuetraining #lifeofascientist #worksafety
