Elisabeth M. Biersma is a research fellow and postdoctoral assistant professor at the Natural History Museum Denmark, University of Copenhagen. She specializes in evolutionary biology with a particular focus on the origins and evolutionary history of biodiversity in polar regions, particularly plant and microbial groups. Her research involves practical and theoretical approaches, including molecular biology, laboratory and analytical techniques, as well as population genetics and phylogenetics. Elisabeth is currently leading a project on Greenland plant diversity patterns and pollination networks in a changing Arctic, aiming to determine the current drivers of plant diversity and pollinator interactions in Greenland and assess potential future climatic impacts on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems.
