The talk will present some steps towards a mathematical framework for studying transient (finite-time) phenomena in random dynamical systems.

It is a natural property of such systems to exhibit several co-existing, metastable regimes in state space, alternating between order and chaos and, thereby, different time scales of predictability; examples include transitions between atmospheric states, the route to turbulent flow or fluctuating (opinion) dynamics of interacting agents.

We will discuss methods deploying finite-time Lyapunov exponents, quasi-stationarity and conditioning to capture stochastic transient phenomena.
