Joe Bull is currently Associate Professor in Climate Change Biology at the University of Oxford, and directs Wild Business Ltd.
Previously, Joe was based at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology at the University of Kent, and spent almost 3 years at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. He has a PhD from the Department of Life Sciences, MSc in Environmental Technology, and BSc in Physics – all from Imperial College London.
Over the years, Joe has spent considerable time in the field, particularly in Europe, Central Asia, and Australia. Joe's research group and consultancy explores ecosystem-scale approaches for biodiversity conservation and restoration under environmental change, in relation to economic development activities. He is particularly interested in exploring whether and how net positive biodiversity outcomes can be achieved by industry. Joe is involved in several projects (from both a research and a consultancy standpoint) seeking to understand the implications of different global natural resource extraction pathways for biodiversity, and this brings him to Oxford EARTH.
