COSMOS is an HST imaging survey of 2 square degrees that is coupled to a large galaxy redshift survey and extensive multi-wavelength (X-ray to radio) data. The combination of breadth and depth surpasses any other deep survey, allowing the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes to be followed with unprecedented statistics in a single contiguous volume. Spectroscopy with the Magellan telescope will yield a sample of ˜1000 confirmed AGN. This interim report on the survey summarizes the host morphologies and galactic environments of AGN in the range 0.5 < z < 2.5, and the relationship of the energy distribution and emission line properties to large scale environment. The coupled evolution of black holes and their surrounding galaxies means that surveys like this are required to disentangle the fueling of AGN and the effect of AGN activity on the surrounding galaxy.
