Rosemarie Stangl

Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing.Dr. Rosemarie Stangl is a full professor at the Institute of Engineering Biology and Landscape Construction, part of the Department of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Her work bridges engineering biology, vegetation technology, and nature-based solutions for climate-resilient infrastructure.

Education:

• Doctorate in Landscape Planning and Landscape Management (2008, BOKU)
• Soil and Physical Sciences research (2004, Lincoln University, NZ)

Research Focus: Rosemarie leads projects in green infrastructure, soil bioengineering, and nature-based solutions for urban and alpine environments. She specializes in root mechanics for slope stabilization, green facade systems, and climate-adaptive construction.

Recent Publications emphasize green-blue infrastructure, urban heat mitigation, and sustainable building practices, with a strong focus on digitization (Green BIM) and ecosystem services in densely built areas.

Scientific Awards:

• Klaus Fischer Innovation Award for Technology and Environment (2008, 1998)

Community Engagement: Rosemarie serves as chair of strategic collaborations between BOKU and the Austrian Environment Agency, and contributes to EU policy frameworks on bioeconomy and climate resilience. She organizes international workshops and acts as a peer reviewer for journals like Building and Environment and Restoration Ecology.
