Joseph Bull

Joe is a Tutorial Fellow in Biology, and an Associate Professor in Climate Change Biology. His group explores ecosystem-scale approaches for biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, particularly in Europe and Central Asia.

Joe joined the College from the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology at the University of Kent. Before that, Joe spent almost three 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.

Joe co-founded Wild Business Ltd, a research-based biodiversity consultancy, which he continues to direct, in 2012. He is particularly interested in exploring whether and how net positive biodiversity outcomes and climate change mitigation can be achieved alongside economic development activities.
