Galaxy Formation - How and When?

Duncan Forbes,   Swinburne University

I will present some new (and old) results relating to some of the major questions in galaxy formation, ie how did galaxies form and when did galaxies form? Issues include early dissipational collapse, and late epoch mergers and accretions. As well as the galaxies themselves I will draw on globular cluster systems for insight.
