The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) transports substantial amounts of
heat into the North Atlantic sector, and hence is of very high importance in regional climate …

There is an ongoing debate whether generic early warning signals for critical transitions
exist that can be applied across diverse systems. The human epileptic brain is often …

Tipping phenomena, ie dramatic changes in the possible long-term performance of
deterministic systems subjected to parameter drift, are of current interest but have not yet …

Tipping is a phenomenon in multistable systems where small changes in inputs cause huge
changes in outputs. When the parameter varies within a certain time scale, the rate will affect …

We consider how breakdown of the quasistatic approximation for attractors can lead to rate-
induced tipping, where a qualitative change in tracking/tipping behaviour of trajectories can …

Early warning signals (EWS) are statistical indicators that a rapid regime shift may be
forthcoming. Their development has given ecologists hope of predicting rapid regime shifts …

Nonlinear dynamical systems exposed to changing forcing values can exhibit catastrophic
transitions between distinct states. The phenomenon of critical slowing down can help …

Varying one of the governing parameters of a dynamical system may lead to a critical
transition, where the new stable state is undesirable. In some cases, there is only a limited …

Complex systems exhibiting critical transitions when one of their governing parameters
varies are ubiquitous in nature and in engineering applications. Despite a vast literature …

Zombie fires in peatlands disappear from the surface, smoulder underground during the
winter, and 'come back to life'in the spring. They can release hundreds of megatonnes of …
