Why research on compounding weather and climate hazards is important
Climate Extremes is leading research that will ultimately help businesses and governments better assess the risks posed by compound events.
Climate change and tipping points
Tipping points exist in the climate system, and it is very unlikely that all tipping points are known. Different tipping points are understood with different levels of confidence, they operate on different timescales, can interact to trigger cascades of abrupt changes, and some tipping point changes are irreversible on timescales of centuries to millennia.
