and wide field of view open up a completely new parameter space for large-area HI absorption-line surveys in the redshift range 0 < z < 1. The FLASH team use measurements of the redshifted 21cm HI absorption line to detect and study the neutral gas in distant
galaxies, and work with members of the ASTRO 3D Genesis Simulations team to test current galaxy and mass assembly models across a wide range in redshift.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
