| Abstract | Cosmological surveys will map the sky with unprecedented precision, creating new opportunities to understand the contents and evolution of the Universe. Gravitational lensing, the bending of light by cosmic structure, leaves characteristic imprints in our cosmic maps. Techniques to measure and utilize the effects of gravitational lensing have become increasingly important to maximize the scientific return of modern cosmological surveys.
