Funded Activity Summary

Star Formation and Gas Consumption in High Redshift Galaxies. The research addresses fundamental issues in the nature of the Universe and how our present world came to be. The spirit of exploration is contagious, and Australia's successes in astronomy are a source of national pride. Observations of hydrogen gas have long been recognised as a key to following galaxy formation and evolution, and they are a key driver for building the Square Kilometre Array telescope, a project which could be sited in Australia. The SKA project is a multi-billion dollar project, which would bring international recognition and prestige. Development of the scientific expertise to motivate this project is an important part of establishing Australia's leadership role.
