Speaking: Sophie Nowicki, University of Buffalo, Ricarda Winkelmann, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
This series of online discussions convened by AIMES, Future Earth, Earth Commission and WCRP aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in treatment of tipping elements 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.
This event will focus on the ice sheets:
- Introduction and moderation – Heiko Goelzer and Hannah Liddy (10min)
- Projections from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets: insights from IPCC AR6 – Sophie Nowicki (20min)
- Beyond gradual change: Tipping points in Greenland and Antarctica – Ricarda Winkelmann (20min)
- Questions and discussion (20min)
The final 20min has been reserved for informal discussions on the research agenda and the development of a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).
The event will be recorded.
