The inner regions (< 10 AU) of discs surrounding young pre-main sequence stars are thought to be places of active planet formation. The disc surfaces are traced by molecular emission lines in the infrared. We have carried out a spectroscopic 3-5 μm survey at the highest spectral resolution (as high as R = 100000) using CRIRES on the VLT, and have used the data to map the dynamics and chemistry of molecular gas, with the aims of constraining disc evolution and learning more about the process of planet formation. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of our CRIRES observing campaign and discuss the results obtained.
