Ruth Mottram (born 9 February 1978) is a British climate scientist who is a researcher at the Danish Meteorological Institute.
She is based at the Danish Meteorological Institute where she primarily carries out research into the interactions between atnmosphere and ice sheet.
she has been part of the HCLIM consortium, developing one of a new generation of flexible atmospheric climate models that can be applied at scales ranging from tens of kilometres down to hundreds of metres.
She is also part of the European Space Agency's climate change initiative for the Greenland ice sheet, under which she has contributed to IMBIE, a large international initiative aimed at quantifying the loss of the ice sheet, and published several articles comparing satellite data with climate models.
Mottram studied the Kangiata Nunaata Sermia, a large tidewater glacier in Greenland, as part of a wider team of scientists.
