Unveiling Geomagnetic Reversals: Insights From Tipping Points Theory

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The geomagnetic field shows aperiodic reversals and excursions separated by stable polarity periods. Although the exact mechanisms responsible of reversals are still debated, several models of different complexity have been proposed. Here we use, for the

Global tipping points report 2025. Implications of overshooting 1.5°C for Earth system tipping points [Chapter 2.3] [PDF]

The world has entered a new reality. Global warming will soon exceed 1.5°C. This puts humanity in the danger zone where multiple climate tipping points pose catastrophic risks to billions of people.

Social tipping points and Earth systems dynamics

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2014
Recently, Early Warning Signals (EWS) have been developed to predict tipping points in Earth Systems. This discussion highlights the potential to apply EWS to human social and economic systems, which may also undergo similar critical transitions.

The making of a national icon: Narratives of batik in Indonesia

Cogent Arts & Humanities, 2023
Batik is closely associated with Indonesia, and it has gradually become both an icon of Indonesia and an expression of Indonesian identity. How this came about is investigated in this article by adopting a descriptive approach and involving the idea of a

Cross-system interactions for positive tipping cascades [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics
Positive tipping points are promising leverage points in social systems for accelerated progress towards climate and sustainability targets. Besides their impact in specific social systems such as energy, food, or social norms and values, positive ...

An interdisciplinary framework for navigating social–climatic tipping points

People and Nature, 2023
To effectively navigate out of the climate crisis, a new interdisciplinary approach is needed to guide and facilitate research that integrates diverse understandings of how transitions evolve in intertwined social–environmental systems.

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 ...

Tipping Points: Abuse and Transformative Discovery

Free & Equal
This paper explores how philosophical accounts of the nature of persons and attributive responsibility can help us to make sense of the kinds of characteristic errors that people make in interpreting what is attributable to one another.

Tipping point detection and early warnings in climate, ecological, and human systems [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics
Tipping points characterize the situation when a system experiences abrupt, rapid, and sometimes irreversible changes in response to only a gradual change in environmental conditions.
