Title: Cross-talk in Cosmic Maps: expansion and growth history from galaxy maps

Wide field extragalactic surveys (galaxy and CMB maps) have changed our understanding of the Universe, with evidence for dark matter and cosmic acceleration. But we need new ideas and more accurate data to understand this picture.

The combination and cross-talk of spectroscopic and photometric techniques to measure galaxy clustering, weak gravitational lensing and redshift space distortion can be used for accurate estimation of the cosmic expansion and growth history. I will present some ideas of how to approach this goal.
