 itute)

CONTACT:Simon Hodgkin
DESCRIPTION:I will talk about how resolved stellar populations can and hav
 e been used to study the fossil record of star formation in nearby Local G
 roup galaxies. This requires accurate colours\,  variability\, chemistry a
 nd kinematic measurements of large samples of individual stars from deep i
 maging and spectroscopy. These studies provide a detailed picture of galax
 y evolution  going back to the earliest times\, providing insights into th
 e initial star forming properties of the early Universe\, and how these ma
 y have changed over time.\n
