We warmly welcome everyone interested to join us for a splinter meeting at EGU in Vienna. In this splinter session, we will present updates from the Tipping Points Modelling Intercomparison Project (TIPMIP) as well as outline the project’s forthcoming plan for 2026 and early 2027. Of particular focus will be…

In January, the Biosphere Domain convened its first meeting of vegetation modellers to discuss progress toward the TIPMIP biosphere modelling protocol. The discussions brought together researchers using a range of approaches to simulate how ecosystems interact with climate, including dynamic global vegetation models, fully coupled Earth system models, trait-based adaptive…

In the first week of December, we were delighted to welcome a subset of our Domain Leads to Potsdam for what proved to be a highly productive meeting. Unfortunately, we were only able to meet some of our members in person, as several (seven, by our count!) were simultaneously participating…

The TIPMIP Team continues to grow! This month, we were delighted to welcome a new experienced modeler to our group: Goran Georgievski, who has joined us as sectoral liaison and domain lead for the Permafrost Domain. Before joining PIK, Goran was a project scientist in the Climate-Biosphere Interactions group (led…

Yet another great addition to strengthen the TIPMIP Team! This month, we welcomed Valeriia Chorna, our new student assistant, who will be supporting our ongoing research projects as well as their coordination and administration. So you’re likely to be in touch with her at various points. Valeriia began her Physics…

This week, the TIPMIP management team connected with our global community through two online webinars—held at different times to make sure people from all regions could join. Both sessions covered the same updates, and we loved seeing the energy and engagement from everyone who attended. If you missed the live…

We are excited to share that the pre-print for our TIPMIP Earth System Model experiment protocol, led by TIPMIP-ESM domain leads Colin Jones, Shuting Yang, Torben Koening, and other engaged colleagues, is currently being reviewed for publication! This protocol provides a simple, idealized framework for comparing ESM simulations that move…

The release of the Global Tipping Points Report 2025 has prompted a parliamentary discussion in the German Bundestag. The report highlights that, at the current 1.4°C of global warming, warm-water coral reefs have already begun crossing their thermal tipping points and are undergoing widespread dieback. In light of these findings,…

The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 — a comprehensive international assessment of critical climate thresholds — has been released, offering both a clear warning and a roadmap for transformative change. One of its goals is to inform and provide guidance for discussions at the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference…

We are excited to “welcome” a familiar face to the TIPMIP-ESM Domain workforce: Karoline Ramin. Karoline studied Physics at the University of Potsdam and was one of the original members of the TIPMIP core team, having joined the project in 2023 as a student assistant. Her face is a familiar…
