We are a Small Team Doing Big Things
The Mountain Research Centre (MRC) is dedicated to providing research expertise on mountain environments for government, industry and recreationists. Mountain regions are complex social-ecological systems spanning a myriad of biological, social and physical processes. Our mission is to generate and disseminate knowledge that enables informed decisions and supports actions related to mountain environments.
