Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

Rhythmic behavior represents one of the most striking and ubiquitous manifestations of
functional evolution for a wide class of natural and man-made systems. The emergence of …

Tipping elements are components of the Earth system that may shift abruptly and irreversibly
from one state to another at specific thresholds. It is not well understood to what degree …

Persistence is an important characteristic of many complex systems in nature, related to how
long the system remains at a certain state before changing to a different one. The study of …

Network theory, as emerging from complex systems science, can provide critical predictive
power for mitigating the global warming crisis and other societal challenges. Here we …

Forecasting all components in complex systems is an open and challenging task, possibly
due to high dimensionality and undesirable predictors. We bridge this gap by proposing a …

The Arctic's rapid sea ice decline may influence global weather patterns, making the
understanding of Arctic weather variability (WV) vital for accurate weather forecasting and …

Accurate estimation of the microenvironment and radiative susceptibility, as well as
forecasting of climate and weather scenarios in urban contexts, are critical for achieving …

The science of complexity aims to answer the question of what rules nature chooses when
assembling the basic constituents of matter and energy into structures and dynamical …

Analyzing the complex behavior of extreme precipitation events (EPEs) is essential to better
understand the effect of climate change on surface and subsurface water resources and …
