SUMMARY:Low Mass Galaxies and their Gas at the Peak Epoch of Star Form
 ation\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Dawn Erb\, UW Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:Because faint\, low mass galaxies are numerous at high red
 shifts\, their impact on the Universe is expected to be significant. T
 hey may host a substantial fraction of the Universe's star formation\,
  provide many of the energetic photons needed to reionize the intergal
 actic medium\, and affect their surroundings via powerful\, starburst-
 driven galactic outflows. Because of their faintness\, however\, the p
 roperties of these galaxies are difficult to determine. I will discuss
  a variety of observations aimed at characterizing the physical condit
 ions in low mass galaxies during the peak epoch of star formation\, wh
 en the Universe was ~20% of its current age\, with particular emphasis
  on the study of galactic outflows in faint galaxies.
