Tipping points webinar series: Climate extremes and impacts on the terrestrial carbon-cycle and fires

Join us for this webinar series that aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. This installment will focus on climate extremes and impacts on the terrestrial carbon-cycle and fires.

The series is a joint activity of the Analysis, Integration, and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES) global research project of Future Earth, the Earth Commission Working Group 1 Earth and Human Systems Intercomparison Modelling Project (EHSMIP) under the Global Commons Alliance, and the Safe Landing Climates Light House Activity of World Climate Research Program (WCRP). IIASA co-hosts the scientific secretariat of Working Group 1 of the Earth Commission and is one of the organizers of these events.

The webinar includes presentations by:

Ana Bastos, Max Planck Institute - Climate risks from extremes events to the land carbon cycle: detection, attribution and uncertainties
Guido van der Werf, Vrije University Amsterdam - Climate - fire interactions around the world; not all fires are equal
Q&A/ Discussion

Moderated by Pierre Friedlingstein, University of Exeter
