There are two projects related to ATTO in this call for PhD students. 1) Methane hotspots in tropical South America 2) What can new organic markers reveal about the seasonal metabolism of the tropical critical zone? -> collab with AmazonFACE Apply to join ATTO at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry!




#SPIN2030 #Dresden: Auch @tropos_de ist am Freitag & Samstag im „Wellenreiter“ (OG 2) in den #TSD Stadt Dresden dabei! Außerdem 2x Kino ("Expedition #Arktis" zur MOSAiC Expedition am 8.3. 20:00 & @checker_tobi zu ATTO - Amazon Tall Tower Observatory am 9.3. 13:00) & 1x #Staub -> tropos.de/aktuelles/vera…





Everything is connected🔁 in the atmosphere, and even remote places are not as pristine as you might think. ATTO scientists led by Coventry Uni News found so-called "forever chemicals" in the air at ATTO. 📊Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.scit… 📰Summary: attoproject.org/forever-chemic…



New study in Nature Geoscience: Rainfall🌧️ induces bursts of natural nanoparticles that can form clouds and further precipitation over the Amazon rainforest🌳🌴. 📰Press release: attoproject.org/nanoparticle-b… 📈Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41561…



There are 2 PhD projects available within the current call for applications at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena. One is about methane budgets in tropical South America, and the other is about carbon fluxes and legacy effects. Check them out!

Alike but different: Akima Ringsdorf and her colleagues (Orsum_MPIC) analyzed isomeric BVOCs in the Amazonian atmosphere by adapting a standard method. And they made some interesting discoveries. 📊Paper: doi.org/10.5194/acp-24… 📰Summary: attoproject.org/analyzing-isom…


A new study by Luciane Reis and colleagues, published in Royal Meteorological Society's Meteorological Applications, shows that thunderstorms⛈️ in the Amazon region can redistribute atmospheric carbon dioxide🌬️. 📰Summary: attoproject.org/gust-fronts-in… 📊Paper: doi.org/10.1002/met.70…


Amazon forests are highly productive despite growing on nutrient-poor soils. In a new study in Biogeochemistry, ATTO researchers used a molecular analysis approach to evidence nutrient limitations in detail. 📊Paper: doi.org/10.1007/s10533… 📰Summary: attoproject.org/highly-product…


Amazon forests are important isoprene emitters. A new study by Michelle Robin reveals how those emissions vary between tree species & specifically between leaf phenological types and leaf traits. 📰Summary: attoproject.org/connections-be… 📊Paper: doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2…



Attention students! If you're interested in joining ATTO, there are currently 3 PhD positions offered at Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Germany!
