Satellite meeting at the Conference on Complex Systems 2024
When: 3 September 2024
Where: Room 5, Forum building, University of Exeter
Join us at the full-day satellite meeting!
This satellite focuses on the role of ergodicity and ergodicity breaking in ecological and economic processes, and the implications for valuation of ecosystem services and environmental risks. It will be an excellent opportunity to connect with other researchers and engage in a multidisciplinary discussion on approaches to time and uncertainty in relations to climate change, planetary boundaries, tipping points, path dependency, extinction risk, and sustainability.
No pre-registration to the satellite is required, however, to participate you must be registered to the CCS conference. Please see the “Practical information” below.

Satellite theme
Climate change and the breaking of planetary boundaries can lead to irreversible changes in the biosphere, posing a fundamental risk to all human activity. The existence of tipping points and absorbing states such as irreversible damages and extinction imply ergodicity breaking in the ecosystem. The objective of this satellite is to foster a multidisciplinary discussion around the fundamental question: How does the non-ergodic nature of the ecological and economic processes impact economic approaches to ecosystem services and the environment?
Ergodicity breaking is an important theme in complexity theory. In non-ergodic systems, averaging over a probability space (expected value) and averaging over time lead to different results, which means that the trajectory of the individual through time departs systematically from the average path of the collective. Ergodicity breaking is particularly important when no collective exists and no approximation to a statistical ensemble can be made.
