Rich pictures – beyond the tipping point [PDF]

, 2015
This paper concerns the interpretation of pictures which people draw in order to help them understand a situation – this includes critical and chronic situations such as those imagined in terms like: ‘the tipping point’.

Describing complex interactions of social-ecological systems for tipping point assessments: an analytical framework

Frontiers in Climate, 2023
Humans play an interconnecting role in social-ecological systems (SES), they are part of these systems and act as agents of their destruction and regulation.

Global Tipping Points Report 2023: Ch1.5: Climate tipping point interactions and cascades. [PDF]

, 2023
This chapter reviews interactions between climate tipping systems and assesses the potential risk of cascading effects. After a definition of tipping system interactions, we map out the current state of the literature on specific interactions between ...

A tipping point in cancer-immune dynamics leads to divergent immunotherapy responses and hampers biomarker discovery

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2021
Background Predicting treatment response or survival of cancer patients remains challenging in immuno-oncology. Efforts to overcome these challenges focus, among others, on the discovery of new biomarkers.

Tipping points in neurodegeneration

Neuron, 2023
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), Aβ deposits form slowly, several decades before further pathological events trigger neurodegeneration and dementia. However, a substantial proportion of affected individuals remains non-demented despite AD pathology, raising questions about the underlying factors that determine the transition to clinical disease.

Tipping point realized in cod fishery

Scientific Reports, 2021
Understanding tipping point dynamics in harvested ecosystems is of crucial importance for sustainable resource management because ignoring their existence imperils social-ecological systems that depend on them.

Ambiguous Tipping Points [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
We analyze the policy implications of aversion to Knightian uncertainty (ambiguity) about the possibility of tipping points. We demonstrate two channels through which uncertainty aversion affects optimal policy in the general setting. The first channel relates to the policy's effect on the probability of tipping, and the second channel to its ...

Power spectrum scaling as a measure of critical slowing down and precursor to tipping points in dynamical systems

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
Many dynamical systems experience sudden shifts in behaviour known as tipping points or critical transitions, often preceded by the ‘critical slowing down’ (CSD) phenomenon whereby the recovery times of a system increase as the tipping point is ...
