Abstract

The objective of CriticalEarth is to train 15 early stage researchers (ESR) to develop new methods to assess the risks of critical transitions in the climate. The training program aims to enable the ESR to generate, integrate and apply multidisciplinary knowledge for, and will give them competences for international collaboration and inter-sectional work in academia, industry and governmental and non-governmental institutions. CriticalEarth's outcomes will be 15 trained scientists; groundbreaking new understanding of multiscale dynamics in the Earth system and better foundations for assessing and avoiding irreversible climate change.
