Galaxy Surveys: Mapping Large-Scale Structure and Cosmological Parameters

Explore a comprehensive lecture on Galaxy Surveys delivered by Shadab Alam as part of the 3rd IAGRG School on Gravitation and Cosmology at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the fundamental concepts and advanced techniques of galaxy surveys, a crucial observational method in modern cosmology that helps measure cosmological parameters and understand large-scale structure formation. Learn how these surveys contribute to our understanding of dark matter, dark energy, and the overall composition of the universe. The lecture, spanning 1 hour and 31 minutes, forms part of a broader two-week intensive program designed for graduate students and researchers in cosmology, featuring expert-led discussions on contemporary topics including inflation, the Cosmological Standard Model, and CMB physics.
