Ruth Rhiannon Chapman

Ruth Rhiannon Chapman is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, within the Ice, Climate and Geophysics department. Her research focuses on the intersection of climate dynamics, geophysics, and mathematical modeling, particularly in analyzing tipping points in Earth's climate systems.

Research Interests

Dr. Chapman specializes in the application of dynamical systems theory and stochastic processes to climate science. Her work addresses early warning signals for tipping points, nonlinear behavior in ocean currents, and computational modeling of complex environmental systems. This research is critical for understanding abrupt climate changes and improving predictive frameworks for Earth's systems.

Publications

Her recent publications highlight the use of geometric and stochastic methods to detect tipping points in climate models, with a focus on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and edge state dynamics.
