SUMMARY:Unlocking Planetary Potential Through Studying Formation Envir
 onments\, Astronomy Colloquium\, Prof. Ilse Cleeves\, University of Vi
 rginia
DESCRIPTION:The last decade of ALMA observations has transformed our v
 iew of planet-forming environments in all respects. High-resolution im
 ages have revealed a diverse array of structured belts of millimeter-s
 ized dust and a variety of distinct molecular compositions both within
  disks and between different disk systems. How does this diversity tra
 nslate into the initial conditions for planet formation and the compos
 itions (gaseous and solid) that planets receive? Do planets acquire wa
 ter and organic material during formation\, or later from volatile-ric
 h cometary reservoirs? I will present recent work including ongoing ef
 forts from the ALMA "Disk-Exoplanet C/Onnection" Large Program\, highl
 ighting how observations and models have radically shifted our picture
  of the chemical and physical environment of planet formation in recen
 t years and how multiwavelength campaigns\, including with JWST\, can 
 help us identify patterns in the apparent variety of protoplanetary en
 vironments. I will conclude with a look forward to bridging the mid-IR
  and sub-millimeter gap with powerful tracers of planetary composition
  enabled by upcoming far-IR missions.
