How do mathematical models unlock the mysteries of climate tipping points? In this webinar, Prof. Michael Ghil dives into the tools that allow scientists to predict both gradual trends and sudden shifts in climate systems—and why these methods should be part of advanced education for future researchers.

Are we nearing dangerous climate tipping points? In this webinar, Prof. Niklas Boers examines the potential collapse of critical systems like the Amazon rainforest, Greenland ice sheet, and Atlantic Ocean circulation—revealing what’s at stake and why urgent action is needed.

Every so often, an article comes along that brilliantly captures complex issues in a way that is easy to understand for everyone. This recent piece in The New York Times does exactly that, offering a highly accessible introduction to the concept of climate tipping points with engaging visuals.

Professor Imke Hoppe highlights recent findings on climate communication research, including the balance between catastrophe framing and solution-oriented approaches. Watch the full talk or read key insights we have summarized.

A new study in Science Advances reveals that predicting exact tipping times for critical Earth systems like the Atlantic ocean current (AMOC), polar ice sheets, and tropical rainforests is highly uncertain. By examining the AMOC, the researchers found that previous predictions of its collapse between 2025 and 2095 are unreliable due to three types of significant uncertainties.

In this insightful webinar Professor Christian Kuehn from Technical University of Munich explores the intersection of mathematics and climate science to predict the tipping points of the Atlantic Ocean currents.

Sahara’s green past and collapse: new advanced method for early detection of climate tipping points.

Hot topics on tipping points that occupy climate scientists were discussed at a multidisciplinary session hosted by ClimTip at the at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union.

In early March of 2024 ClimTip scientists and project partners gathered in Munich and online to officially kick off this exciting research endeavour.

How close are we to crossing climate tipping points? Is the Amazon rainforest approaching a tipping point? What would be the impacts? Dominick Spracklen from University of Leeds explains the latest science about the impact of tropical deforestation on local and regional climate in the first of our ClimTip Webinar Series.
