The Complex Circumgalactic Medium

The circumgalactic medium contains the fuel for future star formation and the record of past feedback, making it uniquely sensitive to the physics of baryonic flows---one of the principal missing ingredients in our understanding of galaxy evolution. I will summarize recent progress in characterizing this gas reservoir and introduce new surveys designed to address the remaining questions/puzzles.
