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
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
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
Evidence is mounting that the Earth’s climate system can change abruptly when tipping points are crossed, for example by anthropogenic release of greenhouse gases. We urgently need to understand and predict these abrupt transitions better. A list of priorities for … Continued
Abrupt global climate changes, named Dansgaard-Oeschger events, that appeared throughout the last ice age, likely depended on the atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2)concentration, study shows Large jumps within the last ice age between cold and warm climate periods in … Continued
The workshop is titled “Challenges and new directions in risk analysis, decision making and policy advice for climate change,” and will take place on March 11th, 2022. From 10am to 1pm, there will be four talks, followed by a panel … Continued
PaleoJump is a new TiPES database for research on rapid transitions in paleoclimates by Witold Bagniewski, Denis-Didier Rousseau, Michael Ghil, and Jens Fohlmeister. “Paleoclimate records vary in their origin, nature, quality, and resolution. So, it is a daunting task to … Continued
TiPES scientists propose ideas for much more effective climate simulations than the traditional approach allows.
