Abstract
It is an exciting time to investigate the dark components of the Universe, with large new astronomical surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES) reaching maturity. I will discuss the theory and practice of cosmological probes which we use with DES , such as strong/weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. I will then describe the latest results from DES for these probes (including some of the interplay between them), and discuss the resulting cosmological constraints and their implications. Finally, I will look forward to the next generation of surveys and consider how they can make qualitatively new contributions to our understanding of the dark Universe.
