Starbursts are short-lived events, stars are forming so quickly that the reservoirs of interstellar gas from which stars are coalescing would be used up on a timescale much shorter than the age of the galaxy . ... Strong stellar winds from giant new stars in the starburst region combine with the blasts of supernovae to push a mighty flood of extremely hot gas, a ?superwind? from the galaxy thousands of light years into intergalactic space. ...

The SAMI instrument on the AAT is currently taking integral field spectroscopy of ~3000 nearby galaxies as part of the SAMI Galaxy Survey. This is the largest sample ever across a broad range in both stellar mass and environment (from field galaxies to groups to clusters). Based on ionised gas and stellar kinematics in the SAMI galaxies, I will discuss the relationship between dynamical misalignments and the influence of environment, morphology and timescales on the origin of gas in galaxies. ...
