Description
Co-Discussion Leaders: Andrew Long, Kuver Sinha
This block is focused broadly on observational methods which can be used to probe the
expansion history of the universe – potentially including probes which are potentially
promising yet underappreciated – and how experimental efforts over the next decade or
so are likely to improve our understanding of that expansion history on various fronts.
However, gravitational waves, which are of course an important probe of early-universe
dynamics, will be the focus of a separate, dedicated block (Block III).
