Rodney Garrard - NZAC Recreation Advocacy Committee Member
In June 2008, Rodney Garrard was accepted as a Ph.D. Candidate at the Centre for Development & Environment (CDE), Insitute of Geography, University of Berne, Switzerland.
Rodney's research will explore the impacts and implications of tourism and climate change, what he refers to as "double exposure", in Sagarmatha National Park, Khumbu, Nepal. His project links with the US based Global Apine Conservation Partnership run by Dr. Alton Byers. Rodney and his wife have moved to Zurich in order to undetake the Ph.D.
The New Zealand Alpine Club supports Rodney's research and encourages other Club members who are interested to contact Rodney via his website dedicated to his Ph.D. click here: Rodney Garrad Website
