Abstract
The technological advances of the recent years have allowed for the proliferation of relatively inexpensive charge-coupled devices (CCDs) and other imaging hardware that has revolutionized modern astronomy. The burgeoning field of transient astronomy is perhaps the largest benefactor of these advances, and as a result, high cadence, all-sky surveys are becoming a reality. New transient phenomena are discovered and studied in depth on a regular basis, and the datasets of ``normal'' transients are becoming richer by the day. However, transient phenomena are intimately connected to their environment, and understanding this connection can provide insight that the study of transient phenomenology alone cannot. In this dissertation, I leverage the statistical power of modern all-sky surveys to investigate the nature of transients, the properties of their host galaxies, as well as the techniques and tools we use to study both.
