Event Description:

This COSPAR event is focused on investigating the interplay between the interstellar and intergalactic media in and around galaxies from high redshifts to our Galaxy. The interplay is believed to play an essential role in galaxy formation and evolution. The event is aimed to review recent progress in the field and to stimulate new efforts, both observational and theoretical. We plan to have both solicited and contributed presentations. The scientific communities addressed include observations in all wavelengths from radio to X-ray and theoretical/computational studies of both interstellar and intergalactic media. We invite you to visit the event website http://www.astro.umass.edu/~wqd/projects/cospar_e14_home.html, to participate in the event, and to submit abstracts for contributed talks or posters via the COSPAR assembly website http://www.cospar-assembly.org/.
