Future Studies at RHIC

The previous decade at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has been characterized by prolific and informative results illuminating the true nature of the quark-gluon plasma. Some of this data, in combination with recent results from the Large Hadron Collider, has indicated that there are a number of unexplained phenomena still requiring a detailed scientific dissection. In this talk, I will review the future heavy ion program at RHIC, including near-term plans focusing on heavy flavor physics and the geometry of smaller collision systems. Longer-term plans will also be discussed, including the phase II beam energy scan, and designs for a major detector upgrade in the form of sPHENIX.
