Scientific paper

The SCUBA submillimetre camera has opened up new possibilities for tracing the evolution of active star formation in dusty galaxies to high redshift, with profound implications for our understanding of the star formation history of the Universe and the contribution from galaxies to the anisotropy of the microwave sky. We review results from several submillimetre surveys started during SCUBA's first year of operation, and discuss their future development, together with other projects that will greatly improve our understanding of the extragalactic point source contribution to the submillimetre sky in the era of MAP and Planck.
