Angus Rosenburgh

Dr Angus Rosenburgh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University. His research focuses on applied ecological restoration and biogeochemical influences on plant communities, particularly in peatland ecosystems. He collaborates with organizations like the Moors for the Future Partnership and the Great Manchester Wetlands Partnership to address challenges in peatland restoration and wetland management.

His work emphasizes the recovery of Sphagnum mosses in degraded blanket bogs, critical for carbon sequestration and water provision. He has investigated the effects of prescribed burning on heather moorlands and developed hydrological models for wetland management using GIS. His research spans field studies, dataset analysis, and applied interventions like the BeadaMoss propagation method.

Publications highlight his contributions to understanding post-fire succession dynamics, soil seed banks, and the ecological impacts of land management practices. His interdisciplinary approach integrates environmental science, conservation biology, and geospatial techniques to inform sustainable ecosystem restoration strategies.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned. His advising and grants involve collaborations with Manchester Metropolitan University and The Heather Trust. He is affiliated with research initiatives focused on peatland rehabilitation and regional wetland conservation.

Labs/teams include partnerships with Moors for the Future and Great Manchester Wetlands, emphasizing applied ecological research and community-driven restoration projects.
