Niklas Boers works on theoretical questions in Earth system science, focusing on the analysis, modelling, and prediction of extreme events and abrupt transitions, often referred to as 'tipping points'. His research develops methods that are rooted in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, particularly in Complexity Science and Machine Learning, to combine process-based and data-driven models. This work finds applications in climate dynamics and paleoclimatology, particularly in the context of anthropogenic climate change. Boers studied Physics and Mathematics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Technical University of Munich, and obtained his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Humboldt University of Berlin. After his doctorate, Boers worked on topics related to theoretical Earth system dynamics at prestigious institutions, including the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, and Imperial College London. In 2021, he was appointed Professor of Earth system modelling at the Technical University of Munich.
