                        ************************
                        INTERSTELLAR TURBULENCE
                        ************************

Turbulence is universal and mysterious, and it remains as one of the major
unsolved problems in physics and astrophysics. It is present in all terrestrial
and astrophysical environments: close to our telescopes, it blurs and distorts 
our view of the skies, and in the interstellar medium, somehow, it removes 
angular momentum and leads to star formation. Jets, outflows, outburst, the 
atmosphere and the interstellar medium as a whole are all turbulent 
media.

This conference is aimed at revising our conceptions on the onset and 
properties of turbulence, and at summarizing the present status in 
observational, theoretical, and computational research in interstellar 
turbulence. It will also include turbulence in our atmosphere, which results 
in atmospheric seeing.
