Scientific paper
Over the last decade observations at submillimetre (submm) and millimetre (mm) wavelengths, with their unique ability to trace molecular gas and dust, have attained a central role in our exploration of galaxies at all redshifts. Due to the limited sensitivities and angular resolutions of current submm/mm telescopes, however, only the most luminous objects have been uncovered at high redshifts, with interferometric follow-up observations succeeding in resolving the dust and gas reservoirs in only a handful of cases. The coming years will witness a drastic improvement in the current situation, thanks to the arrival of a new suite of powerful submm observatories (single-dish and interferometers) with an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity and resolution. In this overview I outline a few of what I expect to be the major advances in the field of galaxy formation and evolution that these new ground-breaking facilities will facilitate.
