Angus Rosenburgh

Dr. Angus Rosenburgh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University. His research focuses on applied ecological restoration, particularly the recovery of peatlands and heathlands in the UK. He collaborates with organizations like the Moors for the Future Partnership and the Great Manchester Wetlands Partnership to address environmental degradation and ecosystem service provision.

Education: PhD in Restoration Ecology from Manchester Metropolitan University (2015). Earlier work included studies on heather moorland management and the heather beetle pest species.

Research interests include biogeochemical influences on plant communities, Sphagnum moss reintroduction (e.g., BeadaMoss technology), wetland hydrology modeling, and the impacts of wildfire and atmospheric pollution on upland vegetation. His work emphasizes practical solutions for landscape-scale restoration and climate resilience.

Key collaborations include developing GIS-based wetland management tools and assessing post-fire succession dynamics in peatlands. His interdisciplinary approach bridges ecological science with land management policy.
