Abstract
The Square Kilometre Array will revolutionize our understanding of the evolution of galaxies. In the very near future the various SKA precursors and pathfinders will also start surveying the sky, making their contributions to our knowledge. Recently large HI surveys on existing telescopes have already started to show us what will be possible in terms of relating gas densities to star formation, tracing cold accretion, and characterizing the dynamics of nearby galaxies. This contribution highlights some recent and ongoing work in characterizing the dynamics of the cold gaseous interstellar medium in nearby galaxies, as well as recent comparisons between de dynamics of real versus simulated dwarf galaxies. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
