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/.
Topics:
The interplay around nearby galaxies
The interplay in group and cluster environments
