DESCRIPTION:The development of surface science over recent years has been 
 characterized by a progressive shift towards the study of more complex sys
 tems than have hitherto been tractable. One direction of considerable acad
 emic and practical interest is the adsorption of chiral adsorbates onto in
 trinsically chiral high-index subtrates. In order to make progress\, howev
 er\, we must develop new conceptual tools that render the relationships be
 tween different such substrates apparent. In this presentation\, I will ou
 tline a new scheme for visualising\, mapping and describing the high-index
  surfaces of crystalline materials\, highlighting a number of interesting 
 novelties including a class of kink-free chiral surfaces\; some density fu
 nctional theory results on the stability of certain complex hcp surfaces w
 ill also be presented.
