SUMMARY:MHD turbulence in the interstellar medium\, Astronomy Colloqui
 um\, Siyao XU\, Hubble Fellow UW Astronomy Dept
DESCRIPTION:Turbulence and magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Unive
 rse. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is important for all branche
 s of astrophysics involving gas dynamics. The developments of turbulen
 ce theories bring a paradigm shift in many fields of astronomy. I will
  start from an introduction of modern theories of MHD turbulence and t
 hen show some examples for their general applicability in understandin
 g important physical processes in the interstellar medium (ISM)\, incl
 uding the formation of density filaments commonly seen in both the dif
 fuse ISM and dense molecular clouds\, and the interstellar scattering 
 of Galactic pulsars.<br><br>
