A mid-infrared atlas of part of the Galactic plane (75 • < l < 148 • , b = ±6 •) has been constructed using HIRES processed infrared data to provide a mid-infrared data set for the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). The addition of this data set to the CGPS will enable the study of the emission from the smallest components of interstellar dust at an angular resolution comparable to that of ...

Studies of interstellar dust using the recently completed Mid-Infrared Galaxy Atlas (MIGA) and the soon to be launched Wide-Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) satellite are summarized. Projects include looking at the distribution of dust around HII regions, the study of dust at the interfaces of HII regions and molecular clouds, and understanding the colour variations seen in cirrus clouds. The Mid...
