Joseph Wayman

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Post Doctoral Research Associate

Contact details

Joe Wayman studied Zoology at Bangor University before moving to the University of Birmingham for his PhD in Physical Geography, looking at changes in biodiversity through time and space. From 2021 – 2023 he also worked as a research associate on the project MEFA which aimed to use staring radar technology to track and monitor bird activity above the city of Birmingham. In 2023 he completed his PhD and started work on the IDEAL project under Nick Kettridge and Laura Graham, researching questions around moorland management within the UK and the impacts on biodiversity and wildfire risk.
