Motivation
“Low mass stars are like weeds in the Galaxy” – Tom Megeath
Characterising turbulence in molecular clouds (power spectrum analysis, D-variance analysis)
Following molecular abundances through an entire cloud complex (e.g. principal component analysis, Lo et al., 2009; 13CO & masers, Breen et al., 2007)Vicki Lowe UNSW/CSIRO
