SUMMARY:A Predictive Theory of Star Formation and Turbulence Driving A
 cross Cosmic Time\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Blakesley Burkhart\, Rutger
 s/Flatiron Institute
DESCRIPTION:The interstellar medium (ISM) is a multiphase environment 
 where magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence affects many key processes 
 that govern the evolution of galactic disks include star formation.<br
 >
\nIn this talk\, I shall present an overview of new analytic models 
 connecting turbulence\, star formation\, feedback\, and disk instabili
 ty. I will show that the turbulence in discs can be powered primarily 
 by star formation feedback\, radial transport\, or a combination of th
 e two. From scales of giant molecular clouds (GMCs)\, I will demonstra
 te how the star formation efficiency can be analytically calculated fr
 om our understanding of how turbulence\, gravity\, and stellar feedbac
 k induce density fluctuations in the ISM via a probability distributio
 n function analysis. This analytic calculation predicts star formation
  rates and star formation efficiency from pc size scales (GMCs) to kpc
  size scales in galaxies and provides predictions for upcoming high-z 
 JWST observations.<br>
