The Editorial for the Surveys in Geophysics special issue on Tipping Elements in the Earth’s Climate Systems is now online, finalizing the Special Issue featuring research from the ISSI Workshop: Tipping Points and Understanding EO data needs for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project, held from October 10-14, 2022. Relevant to the priorities of WCRP, the workshop advanced knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and impacts on Earth‘s climate and environment and focused on a consistent approach in the handling of data related to tipping elements within the scientific community, supporting the development of a roadmap for joint experiments such as the Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project - TipMIP.
