Detection of critical slowing down (CSD) is the dominant avenue for anticipating critical
transitions from noisy time-series data. Most commonly, changes in variance and lag-1 …

The geomagnetic field shows aperiodic reversals and excursions separated by stable
polarity periods. Although the exact mechanisms responsible of reversals are still debated …

Anticipating bifurcation-induced transitions in dynamical systems has gained relevance in
various fields of the natural, social, and economic sciences. Before the annihilation of a …

Many different precursors are known, but not all of which are effective, ie, giving enough time
to take preventive measures and with a minimum number of false early warning signals. The …

The climate system as well as ecosystems might undergo relatively sudden qualitative
changes in the dynamics when environmental parameters or external forcings vary due to …

Anthropogenic climate change, marked by unprecedented extremes, is an immediate
concern. The Earth's limited ability to adapt to abrupt changes within our societal timeframe …

In the present paper, precursors to identify impending failure in heterogeneous materials are
investigated by analyzing Acoustic Emission (AE) time series. Three main approaches are …

As the Earth system is exposed to large anthropogenic interferences, it becomes ever more
important to assess the resilience of natural systems, ie, their ability to recover from natural …

A deterministic dynamical system that slowly passes through a generic fold-type (saddle-
node) bifurcation can be reduced to one-dimensional dynamics close to the bifurcation …

Many real‐world systems of various origins are capable of self‐organization to the edge of a
phase transition, characterized by avalanche‐like behavior. Therefore, it is important, by …
