Abstract: We present recent results from the Herschel HOBYS guaranteed time key program of the Vela C andW48 star-forming complexes. We examine the column density distribution in Vela C, in particular focusing on the cloud structure using probability distribution functions, and characterise the star formation efficiency in W48.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, APRIM 2011 (Chiang Mai) conference proceedings
