• Does climate policy need probabilities (2003, background): “For Morgan and Henrion (1990) risk involves an “exposure to a chance of injury or loss”, which according to these authors leads directly to a need to describe and deal with uncertainty.”
• Global Climatic Impacts of a Collapse of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation (2002, background): “large and rapid climate response in the case of such an event makes THC stability an important factor in assessing climate change (Rahmstorf, 1999; Mastrandrea and Schneider, 2001).”
• Issues related to mitigation in the long-term context (2007, background): “• Coverage of abrupt or catastrophic changes, such as the crossing of the THC threshold (Keller et al., 2000 and 2004; Mastrandrea and Schneider, 2001; Hall and Behl, 2006) or the release of methane from permafrost and the weakening of carbon sinks.”
• The Influence of the Specification of Climate Change Damages on the Social Cost of Carbon (2012, unknown): “Along similar lines, Mastrandrea and Schneider (2001) adjust b through iteration with a simple model of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to incorporate the expected damages associated with decline or collapse of AMOC.”
• Tipping elements and climate–economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment (2016, background): “Some [e.g., Keller et al., 2000, 2004; Mastrandrea and Schneider, 2001] have linked simple models of AMOC stability to arbitrary perturbations of the damage function of a simple benefit–cost IAM like DICE.”
• Possible economic impacts of a shutdown of the thermohaline circulation: an application of FUND (2004, methodology): “In Mastrandrea & Schneider (2001), the DICE-model is coupled to a simple climate model that allows for analyses of climate scenarios in which abrupt changes occur endogenously (rather than requiring exogenous climate scenarios, often with only smooth transitions).”
• Does climate adaptation policy need probabilities? (2004, background): “…1995; Shackley et al., 1998; Jones et al., 2003), global economic impact (Nordhaus, 1994), and the overturning of the thermohaline circulation (Mastrandrea and Schneider, 2001; Vellinga and Wood, 2002) have been the subject of some research and much media attention (the last two studies do…”
• Coupled Human and Natural Systems (2007, unknown): “emerge so clearly in stand-alone models (51).”
