Coupled opinion-environmental dynamics in polarized and prejudiced populations
Cameron Kerr, Madhur Anand, Chris T Bauch
Public opinion on environmental issues remains polarized in many countries, posing a significant barrier to the implementation of effective policies. Behind this polarization, empi…
Space, time and altruism in pandemics and the climate emergency
Chris T. Bauch, Athira Satheesh Kumar, Kamal Jnawali +3
Climate change is a global emergency, as was the COVID-19 pandemic. Why was our collective response to COVID-19 so much stronger than our response to the climate emergency, to date…
When Simple is Enough, Binary Models Capture Social Complexity in Coupled Human-Environment Systems
Yazdan Babazadeh Maghsoodlo, Madhur Anand, Chris T. Bauch
Models of coupled human-environment systems often face a tradeoff between realism and tractability. Spectrum opinion models, where social preferences vary continuously, offer descr…
Implications of regional variations in climate change vulnerability and mitigation behaviour for social-climate dynamics
Amrita Punnavajhala, Timothy M. Lenton, Chris T. Bauch +1
How regional heterogeneity in social and cultural processes drive--and respond to--climate dynamics is little studied. Here we present a coupled social-climate model stratified acr…
Echoes Before Collapse: Deep Learning Detection of Flickering in Complex Systems
Yazdan Babazadeh Maghsoodlo, Madhur Anand, Chris T. Bauch
Deep learning offers powerful tools for anticipating tipping points in complex systems, yet its potential for detecting flickering (noise-driven switching between coexisting stable…
Neural models for prediction of spatially patterned phase transitions: methods and challenges
Daniel Dylewsky, Sonia Kéfi, Madhur Anand +1
Dryland vegetation ecosystems are known to be susceptible to critical transitions between alternative stable states when subjected to external forcing. Such transitions are often d…
From Opinion Polarization to Climate Action: A Social-Climate Model of the Opinion Spectrum
Athira Satheesh Kumar, Krešimir Josić, Chris T Bauch +1
We developed a coupled social-climate network model to understand the interaction between climate change opinion spread and the climate system and determine the role of this intera…
Social dynamics can delay or prevent climate tipping points by speeding the adoption of climate change mitigation
Yazdan Babazadeh Maghsoodlo, Madhur Anand, Chris T. Bauch
Social behaviour models are increasingly integrated into climate change studies, and the significance of climate tipping points for `runaway' climate change is well recognised. How…
