MULTIPHASE OUTFLOWS REPRESENT THE MOST DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT WINDS DRIVEN BY FEEDBACK PROCESSESREGULATE THE STAR FORMATION RATE AND BARYONIC MASS OF GALAXIES. OBSERVATIONS OF COOL METALABSORPTION SYSTEMS WITH THE COSMIC ORIGIN SPECTROGRAPH ON THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DUSTYOUTFLOWS ON KILOPARSEC SCALES WITH SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE AND EXPANDING HOT GAS WITH CHANDRAX-RAY OBSERVATORY HAVE DRIVEN THEORETICAL SPECULATION ABOUT HOW THE MULTIPHASE STRUCTURE OFGALACTIC WINDS AROUND STAR-FORMING GALAXIES LIKE M82 ARISES. DESPITE THESE THEORETICAL EFFORTS ADETAILED UNDERSTANDING OF MICROPHYSICAL PROCESSES THAT SET THE MULTIPHASE STRUCTURE OFGALACTIC WINDS AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN WINDS AND GALAXY FORMATION PHYSICS ON LARGERSCALES REMAINS ELUSIVE.
