DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will outline some of the recent work we have 
 been\ndoing in Cardiff studying the formation of low mass stars. I will\nc
 over the progress that we have made in understanding the origin of\nthe st
 ellar IMF and it's relation to the mass function of pre-stellar\ncores. I 
 will demonstrate the role of triggering in the formation of\nstars in a da
 rk cloud in Ophiuchus\, and also in the horsehead nebula.\nI will also des
 cribe how far-IR and sub-mm data\, together with\nradiative transfer model
 ing has allowed us to study whether the\nproperties of dust grains change 
 as a function of density in a dense\nfilament. These topics all provide a 
 backdrop to the up-coming JCMT\nGould Belt Legacy survey\, which I will ou
 tline.
