UKCEH climate modeller Dr Chris Huntingford is part of a team awarded £5 million by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) to investigate early warning signs of climate 'tipping points'.
The University of Exeter-led project, Advanced Tipping Point Early Warning (AdvanTip), will focus on the Atlantic Subpolar Gyre, an ocean current system that some climate simulations predict could tip for a relatively low amount of extra global warming.
A tipping point occurs when a small change sparks an often rapid and irreversible transformation. AdvanTip will look for a breakthrough in early warning of tipping points by combining new theoretical insights, artificial intelligence, and improved understanding of physical systems.
