A fascinating presentation by Dr. Alexandre Correia ( @uspoficial.bsky.social ) on BB aerosol detection using satellites in the #AmazonBasin, a key focus point of our joint PhD project, led by Thiago Nobrega.

A big thank you to #LabexCaPPA for making Dr. Correia's visit possible!

Congrats to Carolina Ramirez on her successful PhD defense! From a @cnrs.bsky.social - INSU funded project, in a collab with Christopher Pöhlker’s group at #MPI-C in Mainz, she went to the #ATTO tower in central Amazon to study BSOA formation. #ProudSupervisor

Meteorologists!

I run a science ed. nonprofit called @skypeascientist.bsky.social. We match scientists w/classrooms for virtual Q&As.

We always run out of meteorologists before any other speciality.

Will you volunteer to speak with some classrooms in spring 🥺

I've created a starter pack for researchers looking at weather, climate, and linking through to different aspects of human health. I've certainly missed loads of very relevant people - so please let me know if you would like to be added.

It was a particularly harsh year for the Amazon basin—both dry and wet seasons. River levels hit record lows, and fire spots were the highest in 14 years.
North and South America saw the most wildfire activity in 2024 according to #CopernicusAtmosphere data. Europe had a relatively average season except for Portugal, some countries of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

In Paris for @cnrs.bsky.social -INSU meeting. Public transit here is amazing—so efficient and interconnected—but also so uncomfortable it’s hard to believe :/

Winter is typically the most polluted season of the year. Increased fuel combustion for heating and transport, along with cold, dense air, can trigger spikes in many air pollutants.

Really awesome 👏👏
Did some tidying up of the links for chemistry related starter packs, arranged loosely by subject area, and added who maintains the list so you know who to speak with if you'd like to be added!

Scientists speak:

“The catastrophic rainfall hitting central Europe is exactly what scientists expect with climate change"

“As long as the world burns oil, gas & coal, heavy rainfall and other weather extremes will intensify, making our planet more dangerous”

As queimadas e a seca trazem grande desconforto para nossos olhos, causando vermelhidão, lacrimejamento e dor. A poluição no ar é sentida rapidamente pelos olhos, que reagem com inchaço e irritação. "Estamos enxergando o ar desfavorável", alerta o professor Eduardo Rocha
Em períodos de queimadas e estiagem o cuidado com os olhos é essencial
Eduardo Rocha aconselha o uso de medidas preventivas como hidratação e umedecimento dos olhos, que são muito sensíveis à agressão externa como a poluição do ar
