Description

We present distance estimates to a set of high-latitude intermediate-velocity HI clouds. We explore some of the physical parameters that can be determined from these results, such as cloud mass, infall velocity and height above the Galactic plane. We also briefly describe some astrophysical applications of these data and explore future work.
