Probing the Interstellar Medium and Massive Star Formation using Submillimeter Dust Emission

This thesis aims to improve our understanding of the early stages of massive star formation and of the physical properties of interstellar clouds. To achieve this, I have used submillimeter continuum dust emission data obtained by the Balloon-borne Large Aperture submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) in...
