  Hundreds of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies encircle the Milky Way. Many
of these systems have undergone partial disruption due to tidal forces,
littering the halo with stellar streams. These tidal tails are sensitive to the
Galactic potential, facilitating an excellent laboratory to investigate Galaxy
formation and evolution, as well as local chemical signatures of differing star
formation environments. To better understand the emergence of the Milky Way,
this thesis examines the dynamics and chemistry of a number of known stellar
streams.
