TL;DR
This review discusses the advancements in using weak gravitational lensing to measure galaxy cluster masses and explores future applications for mapping dark matter across various cosmic scales.
Contribution
It summarizes current progress and outlines future prospects for applying weak lensing to study dark matter distribution on large and small scales.
Findings
Significant progress in weak lensing mass measurements of galaxy clusters.
Potential for weak lensing to map dark matter on supercluster and galaxy halo scales.
Future applications could enhance understanding of dark matter distribution.
Abstract
In this review I will describe progress that has been made in determining masses of galaxy clusters using `weak lensing' and how this technique my be applied in the future to determine the dark matter distribution both on supercluster scales and on the scale of galaxy haloes.
