Welcome to the webpage of the Alpine Ecosystem Research Group (AERG), New Zealand.

AERG's major research interests can be summarized in four major streams consisting of environmental change and human impacts, plant-interactions and strategies, physical/chemical pathways, and conservation and sustainable management in mountain ecosystems.

Whilst its main focus is on studies in New Zealand Mountains, the group has particular interest in the application of research methods and theories in mountain ecosystems overseas. Long-term collaborations with colleagues from across the globe help understand natural processes across various temporal and spatial scales.
