Chuixiang Yi is a Professor at Queens College, City University of New York, and a Fulbright Scholar. His research integrates micrometeorology, climate science, and nonlinear dynamics to study biosphere–atmosphere interactions and resilience. He received the Norbert Gerbier-MUMM Award from the World Meteorological Organization and was a Rossby Fellow and Fulbright Visiting Professor at the University of Innsbruck. Max Rietkerk is a Professor at Utrecht University. He develops novel theory for tipping points, spatial pattern formation and resilience in ecosystems. His work revealed universal spatial organization in ecosystems linked to tipping points and their evasion. He leads the European Research Council Synergy project Pathways of resilience and evasion of tipping in ecosystems. He has published more than a hundred articles in peer-refereed scientific journals, including Nature and Science. Deliang Chen is a Distinguished Chair Professor at Tsinghua University and a member of seven academies, including the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A world-leading climatologist, he received H. M. The King of Sweden's Medal for outstanding contributions to Swedish and international climate research. John M. (Marty) Anderies is a Professor at Arizona State University. He studies how institutions impact the capacity of societies to cope with change. He has developed and published extensively on frameworks and tools to develop and analyze dynamical representations of the interaction between people, their technologies, and the environment.
