Explore how gravitational wave observations can be used to probe large-scale structure in the universe in this lecture from the Summer School on Gravitational-Wave Astronomy. Learn about the theoretical foundations and practical applications of using gravitational wave data to study cosmic structure formation, galaxy clustering, and the distribution of matter on cosmological scales. Discover the unique advantages that gravitational wave astronomy offers for cosmological investigations compared to traditional electromagnetic observations. Examine current methodologies and future prospects for extracting large-scale structure information from gravitational wave detections, including the role of standard sirens and their potential to map the cosmic web. Understand how gravitational wave observations complement other cosmological probes and contribute to our understanding of dark matter, dark energy, and the evolution of cosmic structure. This lecture is part of a comprehensive summer school program focusing on using gravitational wave observations for cosmological exploration, organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences.
