Statistical Mechanics and Information-Theoretic Perspectives on Complexity in the Earth System

This review provides a summary of methods originated in (non-equilibrium) statistical mechanics and information theory, which have recently found successful applications to quantitatively studying complexity in various components of the complex system Earth. Specifically, we discuss two classes of m...
