Scientific paper

Over the next decade, a network of ground-based gravitational-wave observatories will come on line; it is planned that they will be joined by the space-based LISA observatory sometime around 2010. These instruments are particularly well-suited to study processes involving black holes. Observations with this network should make possible, for example, the construction of detailed ``maps'' of the spacetime about black holes (testing whether Kerr's solution in fact describes black holes in the universe) and of the dynamical nature of extreme strong field gravity in black hole collisions. In this talk, I will describe how the different gravitational-wave instruments will be used to make such probes and what we are likely to learn when these observations are made.
