Observational Cosmology: World Models and Classical Tests
One of the fundamental questions of astronomy is "How did this all get here?" (Kleinmann 1988 private communication).
Observational Cosmology
The application of observational data to the study of the Universe as a whole.

Recent work in observational cosmology and the theory of quantum gravity has led to renewed interest in the anthropic principle. Quantum gravity attempts to unify gravity with the other forces.

During the second half of the 20th century, the development of observational cosmology, also called physical cosmology, led to a split in the meaning of the word Universe, between observational cosmologists and theoretical cosmologists; ...

also worked on the MAXIMA experiment which did not have the systematic error, and the systematic error was corrected in 2001. He always worked on the bleeding edge of the possible, and really extended our capabilities in observational cosmology.
using different data sets and methods, have reported values for the Hubble constant which range between 50 km/s/Mpc and 100 km/s/Mpc. Resolving this discrepancy is one of the most important outstanding problems in observational cosmology.
of a given region in the sky, obtained with different telescopes at different wavelengths. This so called multi-wavelength approach is now the new standard for surveys, at least in the fields of Extragalactic astronomy and Observational cosmology.
