Course Description

Overview

Explore climate tipping points in this comprehensive 58-minute lecture by Tim Lenton from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the concept of critical transitions in complex systems, focusing on climate-related tipping elements. Examine global and regional climate tipping points, their interconnections, and potential cascading effects. Learn about early warning signals for tipping points, including critical slowing down and remotely sensed changes in ecosystem resilience. Analyze case studies on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Amazon rainforest. Gain insights into the latest research on climate tipping points and their implications for future climate change scenarios.
