Description
Although few in number, massive stars play an outsize role
in reshaping their local and global environments. Using
observations of starburst regions in low-redshift galaxies,
I will highlight the importance of Wolf-Rayet stellar winds,
binary stellar populations, supernovae, and geometry in
clearing out neutral gas from star-forming environments.
This feedback from sub-galactic scales ultimately affects
the galaxy as a whole by regulating galactic-scale outflows
and gas cycles.
