Abstract
A significant fraction of the star formation in the local universe, and perhaps the majority of star formation at high redshift, occurs in starburst galaxies. The high spatial and temporal density of SNe in starburst galaxies fuels galactic-scale outflows of interstellar gas. These outflows have been observed in galaxies over a broad mass range, and the estimated mass outflow rates are of the same order as the star formation rates. I will review new results from the analysis of Chandra spectral imaging data. The main implication is that the hot winds in dwarf starbursts carry most of the heavy elements produced by the starburst into the intergalactic medium.
