Bioclimatic change as a function of global warming from CMIP6 climate projections

Morgan Sparey, Peter M. Cox, Mark S. Williamson

Climate change is predicted to lead to major changes in terrestrial ecosystems. However, significant differences in climate model projections for given scenarios of greenhouse gas…

Evidence of Amazon rainforest dieback in CMIP6 models

Isobel Parry, Paul Ritchie, Peter Cox

Amazon forest dieback is seen as a potential tipping point under climate change. These concerns are partly based-on an early coupled climate-carbon cycle simulation, that produced…

Emergent constraints on climate sensitivities

Mark S. Williamson, Chad W. Thackeray, Peter M. Cox +3

Despite major advances in climate science over the last 30 years, persistent uncertainties in projections of future climate change remain. Climate projections are produced with inc…

Theoretical foundations of emergent constraints: relationships between climate sensitivity and global temperature variability in conceptual models

Mark S. Williamson, Peter M. Cox, Femke J. M. M. Nijsse

There is as yet no theoretical framework to guide the search for emergent constraints. As a result, there are significant risks that indiscriminate data-mining of the multidimensio…

Tipping points in open systems: bifurcation, noise-induced and rate-dependent examples in the climate system

Peter Ashwin, Sebastian Wieczorek, Renato Vitolo +1

Tipping points associated with bifurcations (B-tipping) or induced by noise (N-tipping) are recognized mechanisms that may potentially lead to sudden climate change. We focus here…
