The Canadian Network for Observational
Cosmology
is an international consortium
of astronomers who have carried out two
major imaging/spectroscopic surveys
of distant galaxies
using the 3.6m
Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope . The results
of
these surveys include a determination
of galaxy cluster masses
and related cosmological parameters,
the luminosity and spectral
evolution of both cluster and field
galaxies, and
the clustering of field galaxies
at moderate redshifts.

the observational techniques that made both of these surveys possible.
