About the Tipping Elements Discussion Series
Advancing earth systems knowledge:
This series of online discussions convened by AIMES, Future Earth, Earth Commission and WCRP aims to advance the knowledge about tipping points, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in treatment of tipping points in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).
The 60-90 min events are held monthly and feature presentations from scientists working on the frontiers of earth systems research.
