A new method of carbon budget analysis with application to present and paleo atmospheric concentration data sets
Alice Nadeau, Richard McGehee, Clarence Lehman
We introduce a new method for analyzing the carbon budget using box models and a mass balance approach. The method describes the net flow of carbon between the atmosphere and other…
Rethinking the Definition of Rate-Induced Tipping
Alanna Hoyer-Leitzel, Alice Nadeau
The current definition of rate-induced tipping is tied to the idea of a pullback attractor limiting in forward and backward time to a stable quasi-static equilibrium. Here we propo…
Synchronous Glacial Cycles in a Nonsmooth Conceptual Climate Model with Asymmetric Hemispheres
Alice Nadeau, James Walsh, Esther Widiasih
We present a new conceptual model of the Earth's glacial-interglacial cycles, one leading to governing equations for which the vector field has a hyperplane of discontinuities. Thi…
Synchronization of clocks and metronomes:A perturbation analysis based on multiple timescales
Guillermo H Goldsztein, Alice N Nadeau, Steven H Strogatz
In 1665, Huygens observed that two pendulum clocks hanging from the same board became synchronized in antiphase after hundreds of swings. On the other hand, modern experiments with…
