The standard model of cosmology continues to enjoy firm empirical support from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), especially after the achievement of the Planck satellite.
However, there is still much we are learning, and will learn, from higher resolution and higher sensitivity measurements of the CMB from the ground. Not only can cosmological parameters be refined, B-modes be searched for and extensions to the standard model be tested, but new vistas are opening up, such as probing the astrophysics of gas in galaxyclusters and the cosmic web, and studying the variable microwave sky. In this talk I will describe recent progress with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and what we can expect from the upcoming Simons Observatory.
