Abstract. The two major functions in galaxy evolution that we would like to measure are the stellar populations in galaxies, and their time-derivative, the star formation rate. Especially at redshifts above 1, both of these measures are benefiting greatly from wide-area infrared observations. Several space-based and ground-based examples will be discussed.
