Outflows and the Circumgalactic Medium in Extremely Gas Rich, Turbulent Disk Galaxies

To understand how galaxies evolve through cosmic time, we need to understand how star formation is regulated in different environments. Star formation can drive gas out in galaxy-scale outflows, which play an important role in regulating further star formation. In this thesis, I use observations of nearby starbursting galaxies to create maps of outflows and to test models of how outflow properties are linked to galaxy properties. I also find that starbursting regions remove more gas via the outflow than they convert into stars. My results can be used to directly inform simulations of how galaxies form and evolve.
