Conclusion
We have presented the data from the first stage of an extensive study of the GMC associated with the Carina nebula. The data consists of observations of 12CO(1-0) emission which have been used to trace the overall GMC as well as pinpoint and CO `hot-spots' or dense regions where stars could possible form. The observations are at a higher resolution than previous studies and reveal the clumpy nature of the northern and southern cloud regions. They also show the positional coincidence between the far-infrared emission and the strong CO emission towards the Car I region. This supports a blister-type model for this region. Further observation of different transitions are being made to better constrain the temperature and density of the molecular gas in this interesting region.
