Tipping points webinar series: Methane: possible tipping points or surprises

The Tipping points discussion series supports efforts to increase consistency in the treatment of tipping elements in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip). It 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.

This webinar will include presentations on:

• Global Methane - is methane telling us that climate warming feedbacks have already driven us over a termination-scale tipping point? Euan Nisbet (Royal Holloway, University of London)
• Novel insights on regional and global methane cycling. Sara Knox (McGill University)
• Q&A and discussion 

The session will be moderated by Gabrielle Dreyfus (Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development)
