Abstract

Cosmic surveys of large scale structure have imaged hundreds of millions of galaxies and mapped the 3D positions of over a million. Surveys starting over the next few years will increase these numbers more than tenfold. Simultaneously, developments in extracting information on dark energy, dark matter, neutrinos, and gravity on cosmic scales have advanced greatly, with many important works from Asia Pacific institutions.
