Work on complex systems, including Earth’s climate, wins the physics Nobel Prize
Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann and Giorgio Parisi each found hidden patterns in disordered systems
Syukuro Manabe’s and Klaus Hasselmann’s work laid the foundation for simulations that capture the immense complexity of climate and other Earth systems such as ocean surface currents, shown in this visualization.

Earth’s climate is a vastly complex system on a grand scale.
