Eline Lorenzen is a molecular and palaeoecologist who studies the ecology and evolution of genetic and phenotypic diversity through time, primarily in large mammals.  After completing her PhD at University of Copenhagen, she undertook independently funded postdoctoral fellowships at the Centre for GeoGenetics, a Centre of Excellence at University of Copenhagen, and at University of California, Berkeley. Eline is permanent faculty in the Natural History Museum of Denmark, where she is also Curator of Mammalogy. Her interdisciplinary research combines population genomics of past and present populations with insights from macroecology, archaeology, the palaeosciences and climate change research to identify and understand the evolutionary forces that have shaped past and present patterns of biological diversity. In addition, her group uses the analysis of geometric morphometrics and stable isotopes to understand patterns of phenotypic diversity within species and populations through time, linking morphological and genetic patterns.
