The concept of tipping points and critical transitions helps inform our understanding of the impacts of global change. Spatial self-organisation has been interpreted as an early warning indicator. They review how spatial self-organisation can aid complex systems to evade tipping points and can therefore be a signal of resilience. Their research through the Resilience ERC Synergy Grant will explore spatial pattern formation and tipping points in tundra and savanna ecosystems. For more information visit: https://ercsynergy-resilience.eu/
