Complex network approaches to nonlinear time series analysis
Yong Zou, Reik V. Donner, Norbert Marwan +2
In the last decade, there has been a growing body of literature addressing the utilization of complex network methods for the characterization of dynamical systems based on time se…
Causal pathway from AMOC to Southern Amazon rainforest indicates stabilising interaction between two climate tipping elements
Annika Högner, Giorgia Di Capua, Jonathan F. Donges +3
Declines in resilience have been observed in several climate tipping elements over the past decades, including the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Amazon…
Detecting contagious spreading of urban innovations on the global city network
Niklas H. Kitzmann, Pawel Romanczuk, Jonathan F. Donges
Only a fast and global transformation towards decarbonization and sustainability can keep the Earth in a civilization-friendly state. As hotspots for (green) innovation and experim…
What do we mean, 'tipping cascade'?
Ann Kristin Klose, Nico Wunderling, Ricarda Winkelmann +1
Based on suggested interactions of potential tipping elements in the Earth's climate and in ecological systems, tipping cascades as possible dynamics are increasingly discussed and…
Resilience basins of complex systems: an application to prosumer impacts on power grids
Samuel Bien, Paul Schultz, Jobst Heitzig +1
Comparable to the traditional notion of stability in system dynamics, resilience is typically measured in a way that assesses the quality of a system's response, for example the sp…
Ecosystems are showing symptoms of resilience loss
Juan C. Rocha
Ecosystems around the world are at risk of critical transitions due to increasing anthropogenic pressures and climate change. Yet it is unclear where the risks are higher or where…
Complex networks of interacting stochastic tipping elements: cooperativity of phase separation in the large-system limit
Jan Kohler, Nico Wunderling, Jonathan F. Donges +1
Tipping elements in the Earth System receive increased scientific attention over the recent years due to their nonlinear behavior and the risks of abrupt state changes. While being…
Bali's ancient rice terraces: A Hamiltonian approach
Yérali Gandica, J. Stephen Lansing, Ning Ning Chung +2
We propose a Hamiltonian approach to reproduce the relevant elements of the centuries-old Subak irrigation system in Bali, showing a cluster-size power-law distribution. The result…
A dynamic network model of societal complexity and resilience inspired by Tainter's theory of collapse
Florian Schunck, Marc Wiedermann, Jobst Heitzig +1
In recent years, several global events have severely disrupted economies and social structures, undermining confidence in the resilience of modern societies. While empirical eviden…
Agents.jl: A performant and feature-full agent based modelling software of minimal code complexity
George Datseris, Ali R. Vahdati, Timothy C. DuBois
Agent based modelling is a simulation method in which autonomous agents interact with their environment and one another, given a predefined set of rules. It is an integral method f…
Modelling nonlinear dynamics of interacting tipping elements on complex networks: the PyCascades package
Nico Wunderling, Jonathan Krönke, Valentin Wohlfarth +6
Tipping elements occur in various systems such as in socio-economics, ecology and the climate system. In many cases, the individual tipping elements are not independent from each o…
Dynamics of collective action to conserve a large common-pool resource
David Andersson, Sigrid Bratsberg, Andrew K. Ringsmuth +1
A pressing challenge for coming decades is sustainable and just management of large-scale common-pool resources including the atmosphere, biodiversity and public services. This pos…
Social tipping processes for sustainability: An analytical framework
Ricarda Winkelmann, Jonathan F. Donges, E. Keith Smith +7
Societal transformations are necessary to address critical global challenges, such as mitigation of anthropogenic climate change and reaching UN sustainable development goals. Rece…
Effective alleviation of rural poverty depends on the interplay between productivity, nutrients, water and soil quality
Sonja Radosavljevic, L. Jamila Haider, Steven J. Lade +1
Most of the world poorest people come from rural areas and depend on their local ecosystems for food production. Recent research has highlighted the importance of self-reinforcing…
How motifs condition critical thresholds for tipping cascades in complex networks: Linking Micro- to Macro-scales
Nico Wunderling, Benedikt Stumpf, Jonathan Krönke +4
In this study, we investigate how specific micro interaction structures (motifs) affect the occurrence of tipping cascades on networks of stylized tipping elements. We compare the…
A network-based microfoundation of Granovetter's threshold model for social tipping
Marc Wiedermann, E. Keith Smith, Jobst Heitzig +1
Social tipping, where minorities trigger larger populations to engage in collective action, has been suggested as one key aspect in addressing contemporary global challenges. Here,…
Emergence of cascading dynamics in interacting tipping elements of ecology and climate
Ann Kristin Klose, Volker Karle, Ricarda Winkelmann +1
In ecology, climate and other fields, (sub)systems have been identified that can transition into a qualitatively different state when a critical threshold or tipping point in a dri…
Earth system modeling with endogenous and dynamic human societies: the copan:CORE open World-Earth modeling framework
Jonathan F. Donges, Jobst Heitzig, Wolfram Barfuss +9
Analysis of Earth system dynamics in the Anthropocene requires to explicitly take into account the increasing magnitude of processes operating in human societies, their cultures, e…
Deep reinforcement learning in World-Earth system models to discover sustainable management strategies
Felix M. Strnad, Wolfram Barfuss, Jonathan F. Donges +1
Increasingly complex, non-linear World-Earth system models are used for describing the dynamics of the biophysical Earth system and the socio-economic and socio-cultural World of h…
The physics of governance networks: critical transitions in contagion dynamics on multilayer adaptive networks with application to the sustainable use of renewable resources
Fabian Geier, Wolfram Barfuss, Marc Wiedermann +2
Adaptive networks are a versatile approach to model phenomena such as contagion and spreading dynamics, critical transitions and structure formation that emerge from the dynamic co…
