Abstract 


"Unravelling the Universe with Large Surveys" 
Astronomy is entering a new era where telescopes will map huge areas of the sky much deeper than ever before. This will lead to an explosion in astronomical discoveries. During his talk, Dr. David Gilbank will describe a current large area survey, illustrate some of the questions we can attempt to answer with these new projects, and also show how the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) fits into this new order.
