We propose to map the regions of the massive cores in the Rosette and Maddalena molecular clouds. These two regions demonstrate similar properties except that one has ongoing star formation and the other is as yet inactive. The principle aim of this proposal is to investigate the physical conditions (morphologies, mass distributions) that are necessary for the formation of stellar clusters. Local conditions must play a role, as even in the Rosette half of the cores contain embedded clusters while the others, of similar masses do not. We are primarily interested in establishing if there is an evolutionary process within massive cores that leads to the necessary physical conditions for cluster formation. We also want to investigate what role the external environment plays in triggering the formation of stellar clusters. This will be accomplished by establishing the structure of the core on large (several pc) and small (<0.1 pc) scales and by relating any large-scale structure to the possible external triggering sources. This work will be extremely useful in testing and developing theories of the onset of star formation and the origin of stellar clusters
