Bathsheba Demuth is an environmental historian. She specializes in the study of the Russian and North American Arctic. Her interest in this region was triggered when she moved north of the Arctic Circle in the Yukon, at the age of 18, and learned a wide range of survival skills in the taiga and tundra.

She obtained her bachelors at Brown University and her doctorate at UC Berkeley. She now teaches at Brown. She is best known for her book Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the Bering Strait (Norton, 2019), which won the George Perkins Marsh Prize for Best Book from the American Society for Environmental History. The book was also nominated for the Pushkin Book Prize.^[1]
