SUMMARY:Galaxy Cluster Evolution over the Past 10 Billion Years - Michael

DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the number of known galaxy clusters has grow
 n dramatically\, thanks in large part to the success of surveys utilizing 
 the Sunyaev Zel'dovich effect. In particular\, surveys such as the South P
 ole Telescope 2500 deg^2 survey have discovered hundreds of new distant cl
 usters\, allowing us to trace for the first time the evolution of clusters
  from shortly after their collapse (z~2) to present day (z~0). In this tal
 k\, I will highlight recent efforts to understand the observed evolution i
 n the most massive clusters\, in terms of the large-scale hot intracluster
  gas\, the cooling gas in the very center of the cluster\, the most massiv
 e central galaxy\, and the supermassive black hole at the very center. In 
 addition\, I will attempt summarize the current state of galaxy cluster su
 rveys and briefly discuss the potential of next-generation surveys.
