Description

With this workshop we want to bring together internationally leading scientists who study climate response to changes in forcing both today and during critical episodes in the geological past. The goal is to develop alternative concepts of climate sensitivity that can account for the nonlinear nature of the climate system including the presence of tipping points. By combining expertise from dynamical systems theory, climate modelling and data acquisition of past climates, new mathematical approaches will be developed that can be applied to the instrumental and geological records. The workshop is partly funded by the NESSC and open to the NESSC community and a number of invited scientists. Confirmed participants include Peter Ashwin, Rodrigo Caballero, Michel Crucifix, Michael Ghil, Peter Huybers, Valerio Lucarini, Heiko Pälike and Paul Valdes.
