The Resolved Cluster Evolution SZ Survey (ReCESS) is a project that studies the formation of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters at the epoch of their emergence. By examining these high-z clusters, initially selected through ACT observations, I aim to study their dynamical states, thermodynamics, and evolutionary processes, as I explain in this talk.

I am leading this multiwavelength project that has secured over 300+ observing hours on the GBT and ALMA to systematically follow up on all z > 1.25 clusters detected by ACT. These observations will allow us to study clusters during their most active growth periods and address systematics in cluster cosmology measurements at these uncharted epochs.
