Title: The Local Gaseous Universe: New Galaxies and Accretion

Abstract:

Recent observational data have greatly expanded our knowledge of the gaseous local universe. I will discuss how we can use these data to find the smallest galaxies with star formation fuel and make direct detections of gas accretion onto local galaxies. Feel free to interject with questions on the gaseous Local Group along the way.
