Finding early warning signals for climate tipping points is like searching for a needle in a haystack," said Sarah Bohndiek, programme director at ARIA.
This programme aims to reshape our observational capabilities, combining sensing technologies with AI," Bohndiek said. The vision is to develop an early warning system that can "confidently predict" when tipping points may occur.
The five-year-long programme, called Forecasting Tipping Points, will focus on two particular tipping points: the Greenland Ice Sheet and the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre.
As no early warning mechanisms currently exist, ARIA is hoping for a scientific first. It has opened calls for proposals to R&D teams across academia and industry.
