Addressing Key Uncertainties in Modelling Physical and Ecological Tipping Dynamics in the Earth System
Major uncertainties remain regarding the identification and qualification of climate and Earth system tipping elements, as well as their associated timescales, feedback strengths, and the consequences of compounding interactions between multiple tipping elements. There is thus an imperative demand to advance the modelling of climate tipping points so as to allow for more systematic uncertainty and risk assessments. The Towards TIPMIP seminar (5.-8.11.2023), funded by the Heraeus Stiftung, aims to address this demand by bringing together expert participants from a range of disciplines in order to design and conduct coordinated experiments using Earth system models. It is embedded in an ongoing community effort to shape the multi-year research agenda of a systematic Tipping Point Modelling Intercomparison Project (TIPMIP).
