While bright, blue, compact galaxies are common at $\rm z \sim 1$, they are relatively rare in the local universe, and their evolutionary paths are uncertain. We have obtained resolved H I observations of nine $\rm z \sim 0$ luminous…

We have formed ``composite spectra'' by combining the integrated-light spectra of individual galaxies in 8 intermediate-redshift and 12 low-redshift clusters of galaxies. Because these composite spectra have much higher signal-to-noise…

We have used HRCam on the CFHT to obtain subarcsecond images of 26 galaxies with z=0.1--0.7. The primary sample of 17 galaxies have enhanced star formation indicated by [OII] equivalent widths greater than 20\AA, while the comparison sample…
