"Complex Systems" being a somewhat fuzzy concept, this is hard/easy to
answer.
Any physical system comprised of large numbers of similar or identical
elements which interact and yield non-linear collective behaviour seems
like a good enough definition for your purposes. Sand dune formation and
(breaking) waves and cloud formation/dissipation all seem like pretty
good candidates, not to mention the aforementioned weather in general.
Earthquake/Rift/Mountain formain seems like a good fit as well as
wind/rain erosion of soil in general.

created by people.
As companies like Google begin to build agents that build models
and satisfy constraints the requests they initiate will become
more adaptive.

Are there any good examples of a complex system that doesn't
involve biological organisms (including human beings)?
