Turbulence pervades the dynamics of both laboratory and astrophysi- cal plasmas. Turbulent transport and its associated confinement degrada- tion are the main obstacles to achieving ignition in magnetically confined plasma (i.e., for magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) research), while trans- port bifurcations and self-generated shear flows are the principle means for controlling such drift wave turbulence.
