Loss of Self-Organization in Earth's Climate
Offered By: Santa Fe Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive lecture on the loss of self-organization in Earth's climate, presented by Juan Claudio Toledo-Roy from the Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares & Centro de Ciencias de la Complejidad at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico. Delve into the analysis of global temperature data using time series analysis tools to investigate signs of dynamical transitions in the Earth's climate system. Examine significant changes in correlation structures, power spectra, and autocorrelation functions of temperature records from 1880 to 2010. Compare findings to Lovelock's Daisyworld model to understand the implications for planetary homeostasis and self-regulation. Gain insights into complex systems, emergent properties, and the potential loss of self-regulatory stability in Earth's global climatic system due to climate change. Cover topics including complexity, emergence, self-organization, nonlinear dynamics, percolation, critical points, thermal fluctuations, power spectrum analysis, scale invariance, and the greenhouse effect.
