PaleoJump: High-quality data for the study of climate tipping points
Scientists launch an archive of paleoclimate data to facilitate analysis of abrupt transitions in the climate system Earth’s climate has undergone abrupt transitions in the past, which are often linked to the crossing of tipping points. Understanding how and why … Continued
Climate tipping: West Antarctica ice sheet collapse may stabilise northern ocean currents
If the ice sheet of West Antarctica breaks down, the result can be a stabilisation of the Atlantic ocean current system transporting warm water to the coasts of Western Europe It has been hypothesised, that the tipping of one element … Continued
Going for an immediate transition to a green economy pays off, even if such a transition is very unlikely to happen, a study finds
A new method for estimating how much decisions under uncertainty matter suggests that, when the goals of decision-making are set, taking the best decisions (for those goals, under moderate uncertainty) still pays off when the probability of success becomes very … Continued

Tipping points complicate the evaluation of complex climate models
It might be necessary to simulate thousands of years of climate change on large climate models in order to compare and evaluate them reliably An analysis by Robbin Bastiaansen, Anna von der Heydt, the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, and … Continued

Early warning signals for climate tipping should be taken very seriously
Theoretical work confirms the method used to predict climate tipping is indeed mathematically sound Recently, scientists from the TiPES project have found early warning signals for climate tipping of the Amazon Rainforest, the West-Central Greenland ice sheet, and the Atlantic … Continued
Summary of TiPES findings at 36 months
The TiPES project has provided information and insight about tipping points in the Earth’s system.The project has advanced the theory and mathematics of tipping points, developed new methods to analyse and understand past climates, improved the understanding of climate tipping … Continued
TiPES meeting at Dartington hall
TiPES researchers were finally able to meet after that being prevented by COVID for almost the length of the project. We gathered at Dartington hall nearby University of Exeter to have our second general assembly. The focus was on the … Continued
