  Here I present results from individual galaxy studies and galaxy surveys in
the Local Universe with particular emphasis on the spatially resolved
properties of neutral hydrogen gas. The 3D nature of the data allows detailed
studies of the galaxy morphology and kinematics, their relation to local and
global star formation as well as galaxy environments. I use new 3D
visualisation tools to present multi-wavelength data, aided by tilted-ring
models of the warped galaxy disks. Many of the algorithms and tools currently
under development are essential for the exploration of upcoming large survey
data, but are also highly beneficial for the analysis of current galaxy
surveys.
