Seeking more robust early warning signals for climate tipping points
Open AccessJoseph Clarke, Joseph J Clarke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023
Potential tipping points in the Earth System present challenges for society and ecosystems, especially as the global warming thresholds at which these may be triggered remain uncertain. Fortunately, a theory of `critical slowing down' has been developed which could warn of approaching tipping points. Applications of this theory often implicitly assume stationary white-noise forcing, itself requiring a clean separation between forced trends and va…
Climate change adaptation planning for cultural heritage, a national scale methodology
Open AccessCatherine Daly, Caroline Engel Purcell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage…2020
Purpose Ireland's Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 established the requirement for a National Adaptation Framework (NAF) composed of nine sectoral plans, of which Built and Archaeological Heritage is one. All the plans were written according to the six-step process outlined in Sectoral Planning Guidelines for Climate Change Adaptation produced by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (DCCAE, 2018) whic…

Equilibrium forest demography explains the distribution of tree sizes across North America
Open AccessJ R Moore, Kai Zhu et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018
The distribution of tree sizes within a forest strongly influences how it will respond to disturbances and environmental changes such as future climate change and increases in atmospheric CO 2 . This means that global vegetation models must include variation in tree size to accurately represent carbon sinks, such as that seen in North America. Here we use an analytical model of large-scale forest demography which assumes tree growth varies as a p…
Increased importance of methane reduction for a 1.5 degree target
Open AccessW J Collins, Christopher P Webber et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018
To understand the importance of methane on the levels of carbon emission reductions required to achieve temperature goals, a processed-based approach is necessary rather than reliance on the transient climate response to emissions. We show that plausible levels of methane (CH4) mitigation can make a substantial difference to the feasibility of achieving the Paris climate targets through increasing the allowable carbon emissions. This benefit is e…

Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System (Aimes)
Open AccessDavid Schimel, Kathy Hibbard et al.ARTICLEAnthropocene2015Cited by: 7References: 29
The IGBP Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES) project has developed the notion of Earth System Science (ESS). ESS studies how the planet operates as a coupled system of interacting components, which produce emergent behaviors over and beyond the dynamics of the individual components. Many climate models used in the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5) include representations of the physical climate system and the biologica…
High sensitivity of future global warming to land carbon cycle processes
Open AccessBen Booth, Ben B B Booth et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2012
Unknowns in future global warming are usually assumed to arise from uncertainties either in the amount of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions or in the sensitivity of the climate to changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. Characterizing the additional uncertainty in relating CO2 emissions to atmospheric concentrations has relied on either a small number of complex models with diversity in process representations, or simple models. To date, t…

What do recent advances in quantifying climate and carbon cycle uncertainties mean for climate policy
Open AccessJoanna I House, Chris Huntingford et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2008
Global policy targets for greenhouse gas emissions reductions are being negotiated. The amount of emitted carbon dioxide remaining in the atmosphere is controlled by carbon cycle processes in the ocean and on land. These processes are themselves affected by climate. The resulting 'climate-carbon cycle feedback' has recently been quantified, but the policy implications have not. Using a scheme to emulate the range of state-of-the-art model results…
Climate–Carbon Cycle Feedback Analysis
Pierre Friedlingstein, Peter M Cox et al.ARTICLEJournal of Climate2006
Eleven coupled climate–carbon cycle models used a common protocol to study the coupling between climate change and the carbon cycle. The models were forced by historical emissions and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A2 anthropogenic emissions of CO2 for the 1850–2100 time period. For each model, two simulations were performed in order to isolate the impact of climate change on the …
Regions of Strong Coupling Between Soil Moisture and Precipitation
Open AccessRandal D Koster, Paul A Dirmeyer et al.ARTICLEScience2004
Previous estimates of land-atmosphere interaction (the impact of soil moisture on precipitation) have been limited by a lack of observational data and by the model dependence of computational estimates. To counter the second limitation, a dozen climate-modeling groups have recently performed the same highly controlled numerical experiment as part of a coordinated comparison project. This allows a multimodel estimation of the regions on Earth wher…
Global response of terrestrial ecosystem structure and function to CO 2 and climate change
Open AccessWolfgang Cramer, Alberte Bondeau et al.ARTICLEGlobal Change Biology2001
The possible responses of ecosystem processes to rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration and climate change are illustrated using six dynamic global vegetation models that explicitly represent the interactions of ecosystem carbon and water exchanges with vegetation dynamics. The models are driven by the IPCC IS92a scenario of rising CO 2 ( Wigley et al . 1991 ), and by climate changes resulting from effective CO 2 concentrations corresponding to IS…
