He and co-author Alexey Galda, a scientist with Argonne and the University of Chicago's James Franck Institute, had been working on ways to describe these systems, particularly those undergoing a phase transition — such as the moment during a thunderstorm when the charge difference between cloud and ground tips too high, and a lightning strike occurs.

Twenty - two years ago, Joseph Treiterer of Ohio State University, Columbus, suggested that traffic flows can resemble phase transitions — changes of state such as the condensing of steam into water.

A phase transition is what happens when one state of matter turns into another, such as when water freezes.

Dr. Jerison studies systems governed by simple rules that nonetheless exhibit complex behaviors, such as phase transitions — for instance, when a slight temperature increase causes ice to melt into liquid water; and threshold phenomena — for instance, when a small extra deposit of soil causes a stable slope to topple over into a landslide.

While the show has been divided into three parts, shown over the course of a few months (phase three is currently on view), these have not corresponded to distinct phases of a historical narrative — such as minimalism, transition, and algorithm — or indeed any other obvious organizational scheme apart from the exigencies of spatial limitations and loan requirements.

Dr Birol also held meetings at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Ministry of Environment and with New Zealand's Climate Change Ambassador, where the IEA and New Zealand agreed on the need to support global policy advice and quantitative analysis for the phase out of fossil fuel subsidies and the energy transition, both through bilateral collaboration and multilateral fora, such as APEC, the WTO and the G20.
