About this document Deliverable: D6.1 First Joint workshop to (re)formulate open research questions of joint interest: “Tipping Elements in the Climate System, with a Focus on the North Atlantic” Work package in charge: WP6 Clustering Actual delivery date for this deliverable: Project-month 13 Dissemination level: The general public (PU) Lead author: Natural Environment Research Council, National Oceanography Centre (NOC): Gerard McCarthy Other contributing author: Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI): Chiara Bearzotti Summary for publication The first joint workshop on areas of common interest was held on 18-19 September 2017 at Wolfson College, Oxford (UK). The focus of the workshop was tipping elements in the climate system, with a focus on the North Atlantic. Blue-Action is focused on Arctic and high latitude changes. Therefore, the high number of tipping elements in this region and their potentially large impact on Northern Hemisphere climate is of particular interest and concern to Blue-Action scientists. The workshop was organised by the Blue-Action project to link Blue-Action scientists with experts outside the project. Key areas of research and actions for future collaboration were identified.
