Welcome to the Mountain Geography Specialty Group of the AAG. We look forward to seeing you March 24 - 28, 2025 in Detroit!
Take a look at our new section, 'Reasons,' and see why MGSG folks study mountains!
"Mountains are an important source of water, energy and biological diversity. Furthermore, they are a source of such key resources as minerals, forest products and agricultural products and of recreation. As a major ecosystem representing the complex and interrelated ecology of our planet, mountain environments are essential to the survival of the global ecosystem."
Agenda 21, Chapter 13, "Managing Fragile Ecosystems: Sustainable Mountain Development", Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1992.
