We present the results of a deep search for the molecular hydrogen shockfronts associated with young stellar outflows in the giant molecular cloud andmassive star forming region W51. A total of 14 outflows were identified, and afew of these were studied in detail with high-resolution imaging andspectroscopy.Comment: 21 pages + 14 figure
