The Seventh International Symposium on Recurrence Plots took place this August in São Paulo, Brazil. Norbert was one of the organizers and had the opportunity to present (besides more theoretical work) also a study partly developed within QUEST: Multiplex Recurrence Networks. In this work, together with Deniz Eroglu (Imperial College, London, UK, now at Northwestern University, Evanston, US) and Martina Stebich (Senckenberg Museum, Weimar, Germany) the recurrence plot approach was combined with the multiplex network concept to investigate regime transitions in multivariate palaeoclimate proxy records.
