Optimisation of tipping pathways in a spatially heterogeneous world
Aurora Faure Ragani, Robbin Bastiaansen
In spatially extended systems, tipping does not necessarily lead to a uniform, abrupt transition typical of low-dimensional conceptual climate models. Instead, spatially structured…
Early warning of critical transitions: distinguishing tipping points from Turing destabilizations
Paul A. Sanders, Robbin Bastiaansen
Current early warning signs for tipping points often fail to distinguish between catastrophic shifts and less dramatic state changes, such as spatial pattern formation. This paper…
The role of coupling and timescales for interacting tipping elements
Paul D. L. Ritchie, Robbin Bastiaansen, Anna S. von der Heydt +1
Sudden and abrupt changes can occur in a nonlinear system within many fields of science when such a system crosses a tipping point; rapid changes of the system can then occur in re…
Early warning skill, extrapolation and tipping for accelerating cascades
Peter Ashwin, Robbin Bastiaansen, Anna S. von der Heydt +1
We investigate how nonlinear behaviour (both of forcing in time and of the system itself) can affect the skill of early warning signals to predict tipping in (directionally) couple…
Multi-front dynamics in spatially inhomogeneous Allen-Cahn equations
Robbin Bastiaansen, Arjen Doelman, Tasso J. Kaper
Recent studies of biological, chemical, and physical pattern-forming systems have started to go beyond the classic `near onset' and `far from equilibrium' theories for homogeneous…
Assessment of Abrupt Shifts in CMIP6 Models using Edge Detection
Sjoerd Terpstra, Swinda K. J. Falkena, Robbin Bastiaansen +3
Past research has shown that multiple climate subsystems might undergo abrupt shifts, such as the Arctic Winter sea ice or the Amazon rainforest, but there are large uncertainties…
Rethinking tipping points in spatial ecosystems
Swarnendu Banerjee, Mara Baudena, Paul Carter +3
The theory of alternative stable states and tipping points has garnered substantial attention in the last several decades. It predicts potential critical transitions from one ecosy…
Climate Response and Sensitivity: Timescales and Late Tipping Points
Robbin Bastiaansen, Peter Ashwin, Anna S. von der Heydt
Climate response metrics are used to quantify the Earth's climate response to anthropogenic changes of atmospheric CO2. Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) is one such metric tha…
Partial tipping in a spatially heterogeneous world
Robbin Bastiaansen, Henk A. Dijkstra, Anna S. von der Heydt
Many climate subsystems are thought to be susceptible to tipping - and some might be close to a tipping point. The general belief and intuition, based on simple conceptual models o…
Projections of the Transient State-Dependency of Climate Feedbacks
Robbin Bastiaansen, Henk A. Dijkstra, Anna S. von der Heydt
When the climate system is forced, e.g. by emission of greenhouse gases, it responds on multiple time scales. As temperatures rise, feedback processes might intensify or weaken. Cu…
Multivariate Estimations of Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity from Short Transient Warming Simulations
Robbin Bastiaansen, Henk A. Dijkstra, Anna S. von der Heydt
One of the most used metrics to gauge the effects of climate change is the equilibrium climate sensitivity, defined as the long-term (equilibrium) temperature increase resulting fr…
Modelling honey bee colonies in winter using a Keller-Segel model with a sign-changing chemotactic coefficient
Robbin Bastiaansen, Arjen Doelman, Frank van Langevelde +1
Thermoregulation in honey bee colonies during winter is thought to be self-organised. We added mortality of individual honey bees to an existing model of thermoregulation to accoun…
Pulse solutions for an extended Klausmeier model with spatially varying coefficients
Robbin Bastiaansen, Martina Chirilus-Bruckner, Arjen Doelman
Motivated by its application in ecology, we consider an extended Klausmeier model, a singularly perturbed reaction-advection-diffusion equation with spatially varying coefficients.…
Stable planar vegetation stripe patterns on sloped terrain in dryland ecosystems
Robbin Bastiaansen, Paul Carter, Arjen Doelman
In water-limited regions, competition for water resources results in the formation of vegetation patterns; on sloped terrain, one finds that the vegetation typically aligns in stri…
The dynamics of disappearing pulses in a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion system with parameters that vary in time and space
Robbin Bastiaansen, Arjen doelman
We consider the evolution of multi-pulse patterns in an extended Klausmeier equation with parameters that change in time and/or space. We formally show that the full PDE dynamics o…
