THE PURPOSE OF THIS TASK IS TO STUDY THE FORMATION AND GROWTH OF DUST IN THE MAGELLENIC CLOUDS. DUST FORMATION TAKES PLACE IN A VARIETY OF ASTROPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING THE QUIESCENT OUTFLOWS FROM AGB STARS. EXTREME ASTROPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDE THE RA DIOACTIVE POWERED EJECTA OF CORE COLLAPSE SUPERNOVAE AND THE POSTSHOCK REGIONS OF SUPERNOVA BLAST WAVES EXPANDING INTO DENSE CIRCUMSTELLAR SHELLS (TYPE IIN SUPERNOVA). OUR STUDY OF THE EVOLUTION OF DUST WILL OFFER EXCITING NEW CHALLENGES FOR DUST FORMATION THEORIES.
