Tipping Elements in the Earth System
“Tipping elements in the Earth System” will provide reviews, insights and novel research on the science of tipping points for the earth system, including the methodology and theoretical understanding of what a tipping element is but also moreover, on all the contextual aspects of the occurrence of tipping points and related thresholds, including abrupt changes, in the earth and climate system. Recognized and new tipping elements, relevant feedback and processes within the climate system, cascading events, limits and opportunities of representing tipping elements in state-of-the-art climate models and/or more simplified modeling frameworks are all welcome and desired topics for the collection.

Article Types
We welcome the following article types:
- Research Articles – no limits on length or figures. Your article should be able to say what it needs so that the community understand your work and your findings. Open Research is key so methods should be complete, and data should be available (upon request) so the community can replicate and build on the research.
- Insights – review articles that help researchers (new or established) ‘ get up to speed’ in a particular area. Articles should be no more than 6,000 words long and review the last 5 years of work in a field and, most importantly, outline a future direction! Whilst these articles are commissioned only, if you have an idea please contact the editor before submitting.
- Commentaries - a personal view from a leader in the field that outlines the challenges the community faces and potential directions for research that overcome these challenges.
- Methods – not all great work needs to have positive results or a conclusion. Sometimes the best work is around developing or optimizing a process, technique or protocol. These articles present, in detail, the new approach, improvement over previous methods, and the long-term impact this may have on the field.
