SUMMARY:Star Formation in HI Dominated Environments\, Astronomy Colloq
 uium\, Jennifer Donavan Myer\, NRAO
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss recent work on star forming\, HI-dominated 
 environments from nearby\, low-mass dwarf galaxies to extended ultravi
 olet (XUV) disks. In both cases\, stars are forming at low levels -- r
 equiring interstellar media capable of doing so -- but the gas columns
  and molecular fractions in these regions can differ substantially fro
 m those in the main disks of normal\, star forming galaxies. I'll pres
 ent some ongoing studies of the gas available for stars to form in the
 se very different environments and discuss their broader context by co
 mparing to more typically studied star forming gas. Finally\, I will a
 ddress the evolutionary context of these environments\, as they are gr
 eat examples of the ways in which atomic gas affects the ongoing evolu
 tion of galaxies of all sizes.
