Abstract
In this review, we describe how high resolution near infrared spectroscopy and spectro-astrometry have been used to study the disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars. We show how these tools can be used to identify signposts of planet formation and elucidate the mechanism by which Herbig Ae/Be stars accrete. We also highlight some of the artifacts that can complicate the interpretation of spectro-astrometric measurements and discuss best practices for mitigating these effects. We conclude with a brief discussion of the value of long term monitoring of these systems.
