GEco - Galactic Science with CCAT-p

The CCAT-p telescope will be a 6m telescope built on Cerro Chajnantor, at an altitude of 5600 m. While a significant portion of the CCAT-p science is dedicated to Galaxy formation or Cosmology, there is also important Galactic Science the instrument can do. In this talk, I will summarize the science we envision to perform mostly with the heterodyne CHAI array: a survey of the Galactic Plane and the Magellanic Clouds in atomic carbon, searching for turbulence dissipation structures in Gould belt clouds, and searching for protostellar variability.
