We are very excited to welcome a new scientific project coordinator to our team: Tamanna Kalam, who will help facilitate collaboration and coordination across our various domains! Tamanna is a conservation scientist whose research focuses on understanding how human pressures reshape ecosystems and drive the decline of wildlife populations and…

From June 1 to 4, we were invited to join the OptimESM and TipESM annual General Assembly, hosted by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) in Copenhagen. Jose Licon-Salaiz (our data specialist) and Karoline Ramin (our ESM-domain PhD student) headed over to see what our partner projects are up to and…

The Tipping Points Modelling Intercomparison Project was well represented at the EGU General Assembly 2026, held from 2–8 May in Vienna. Bringing together over 20,000 geoscientists from 125 countries, the annual meeting provided an important opportunity to share recent developments from across TIPMIP and exchange ideas with the wider Earth…

Immediately following the TIPMIP General Assembly in Tokyo, the team and many of the participants headed a few hours south to Kyoto where they joined for the CMIP community workshop, held at the Kyoto International Center. The workshop presented numerous opportunities to highlight tipping points, including standalone sessions as well…

From 4–6 March 2026, around 70 researchers from across the international tipping points community came together at the University of Tokyo, Japan, for the third TIPMIP General Assembly. Bringing together PhD researchers, postdocs and senior scientists, including several IPCC authors and TIPMIP domain leads, the meeting marked an exciting milestone…

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…
