SUMMARY:NAM 2017 session: Galactic Chemical Evolution\, Stars\, and the Creation of Elements in the Big-Data Era
DESCRIPTION:The life and death cycle of the stars is key to our unders
 tanding of the creation of the elements and the ongoing chemical evolu
 tion of our Galaxy. In this new era of big data and large scale spectr
 oscopic surveys (Gaia\, APOGEE\, Gaia-ESO\, WEAVE)\, we are now obtain
 ing the large galactic chemical datasets needed to truly characterise 
 the stellar populations within the Milky Way and also within other gal
 axies using key facilities such as ALMA. \nThe three fields we seek to
  bridge are: 1) the properties of nuclei\, nuclear reaction rates and 
 nucleosynthesis pathways\; 2) stellar structure\, evolution and elemen
 t nucleosynthesis\; and 3) observation and modelling of the chemodynam
 ical evolution of galaxies. Advancing the underlying physics of these 
 fields and improving the key measurements that are passed between them
  provides the framework upon which the analyses of large chemical data
 sets are based. It is essential that these fields are kept at the fore
 front and kept in close communication to maximise the exploitation of 
 these impressive observational datasets. \nThis interdisciplinary sess
 ion is proposed by the BRIDGCE UK network (BRIdging the Disciplines of
  Galactic Chemical Evolution\, www.bridgce.ac.uk) which transfers know
 ledge and develops synergies between the UK researchers investigating 
 the origin of the elements and the evolution of the stars and galaxies
 . The latest advancements in these fields will be presented and consid
 ered in the context of the big data observational programmes of stella
 r population chemical distributions both within the Milky Way and with
 in galaxies at high redshift.
