02.05.2025 - ERSU at Europe's largest geoscientific conference.

The ERSU group joined the annual EGU General Assembly, which took place from 27 April - 02 May 2025 in Vienna. It is Europe's largest geoscientific conference with more than 20,000 participants from 120 countries.
Contributions from our science unit covered various topics, including the tipping dynamics of ice sheets, of the AMOC and the Amazon rainforest, in agriculture and social systems, as well as news from TIPMIP.
These were the individual contributions:
- Ricarda Winkelmann and Ann Kristin Klose: Three types of tipping dynamics in ice sheets
- Sina Loriani, Donovan Dennis, Jonathan F. Donges, and Ricarda Winkelmann: News from TIPMIP
- Ann Kristin Klose, Violaine Coulon, Tamsin Edwards, Fiona Turner, Frank Pattyn, and Ricarda Winkelmann: From short-term uncertainties to long-term certainties in the future evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
- Lena Nicola, Johanna Beckmann, Felicity McCormack, and Ricarda Winkelmann: Towards understanding the effects of extreme events on Antarctic ice-sheet dynamics
- Lena Nicola, Rebekka Frøystad, Antonio Juarez-Martinez, Maxence Menthon, Ana Carolina Moraes Luzardi, Katherine Turner, Sally F. Wilson, and Benjamin Keisling and the Karthaus 2023 EDI team incl.
