Description
The fundamental nature of dark matter and neutrinos affect our Universe in ways that we can probe through its evolution over cosmic scales of distance and time. From precision measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation at the start of the 21st century through to the first sets of precision weak lensing measurements almost twenty years later, we are pursuing a rapidly expanding explosion of cosmological information that will culminate in the 2020s with the start of several revolutionary observatories on the ground and in space. In almost every sense, these experiments will increase our capabilities a hundred-fold. Spanning spectrography and photometry, wavelengths of a meter to a micron, and times from the beginning of the Universe to today, I will summarize where we stand with cosmological surveys and where we're rapidly accelerating to.
