Abstract

The work in this thesis has resulted in significant progress in placing observational constraints on the influence of AGN on the evolution of galaxies. However, as outlined in the previous chapter, there are outstanding questions that still need to be addressed. As a result of the work presented in this thesis, a number of follow-up observational projects are now underway to answer some of these questions. In this chapter we consider four of the key questions and provide an overview of the new work that is now underway to answer them. These questions are: (1) what physical processes drive the outflows in AGN?; (2) what are the multi gas-phase properties of galaxy-wide outflows?; (3) what is the prevalence of ionised outflows in galaxies across cosmic time?; and (4) what impact do outflows have on galaxy evolution? We finish this chapter with some final remarks on the status of the research that has been covered in this thesis.
