Explore millimeter-wave sky surveys and their applications in astrophysics and cosmology through this joint astrophysics colloquium lecture. Discover how mm-wave observations reveal diverse cosmic phenomena including solar system objects, flaring stars, accreting black holes, dusty star-forming galaxies, and galaxy clusters. Learn about cosmological studies of the cosmic microwave background and gravitational lensing effects from foreground large-scale structure. Examine specific examples from the South Pole Telescope's science program to understand current research methodologies and discoveries in this field. Gain insights into how microwave astronomy contributes to our understanding of both local astrophysical processes and large-scale cosmological structures through systematic sky surveys.
