SUMMARY:Supernova Cosmology Results from the Dark Energy Survey\, NPAC
  (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Richard Kessler\, University o
 f Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Roughly 9 months after the end of the 5-year transient sea
 rch in
\nthe Dark Energy Survey (DES)\, DES submitted a series of pape
 rs
\ndescribing its first cosmology results based on measuring cosmic

 \ndistances for a small fraction of the Type Ia Supernova sample.
\nI 
 will give an overview of DES\, our first results\, and the analysis\, 
 highlighting where we have made improvements necessary to reduce uncer
 tainties. I will also briefly describe future prospects for SN Ia cosm
 ology with  DES (full sample) and the WFIRST space mission.
