ACCEDE

Abrupt Change in Climate and Ecosystems

J.E.G. is involved in an international project led by NAU’s Nick McKay to address the following scientific questions: 1) Where are the tipping elements in Earth’s climate and ecosystems? 2) What are the dynamics of ecosystems-climate feedbacks that drove rapid desertification in subtropical North Africa 6,000 years ago? And 3) where can climate models with realistic forcings simulate changes comparable to those observed?
