The TiPES Podcast - Tipping points change Earth and climate
55 FOLLOWERS
Listen to top scientists on how Earth and climate might change if we hit a tipping point. TiPES is a European science project quantifying tipping points in the Earth system to improve climate projections.

Huge climate change coming up, if we continue business as usual. The ocean current system, the AMOC, keeps Europe in a relatively mild climate. But the currents show signs of tipping to a dormant state already at mid-century. Peter Ditlevsen, the University of Copenhagen ..read more

It has long been suspected that the repeated abrupt spikes of heating which took place during the ice ages (Dansgaard-Oeschger events) impacted most parts of the world. Now it has been confirmed by data. Sune Olander Rasmussen from the NIels Bohr Institute explains the finding, published today in Science. ..read more

We know from the past, that elements in the climate system might pass tipping points after which they enter new states with no return in a foreseeable future. Peter Ditlevsen, the Niels Bohr Institute speaks on the importance of the TiPES project ..read more

Two studies this year involving Niklas Boers of the TiPES-project have found early warning signals for tipping of a large ocean current system in the North Atlantic, called the AMOC and the Greenland ice sheet. In this TiPES-podcast Niklas Boers explains the findings ..read more

In this TiPES-podcast, we try to reach an intuitive understanding of climate tipping - not least rate-induced tipping which is when the speed of climate change tilts the system in an irreversible manner. Our guest is Professor Peter Ashwin from the University of Exeter, UK. Peter Ashwin was one of the discoverers of rate-induced tipping in 2012 ..read more

Earth was very close to entering an ice age only 100 years ago due to natural causes. Now we must wait at least 100.000 years for the next ice age. This is shown by work of Andrey Ganopolski from PIK Potsdam. (13 min ..read more
