Deprojecting Astronomical Sky Maps
We see the sky in 2D but, in order to conduct astrophysical studies, we need 3D information. I will show how to take any large-scale map of the sky, at any wavelength, and extract 3D extragalactic information from it using clustering measurements. I will then apply this technique to observations of galaxies and diffuse components across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Synergies Between IFU and Molecular Gas Surveys The internal structure of galaxies harbors important clues of the processes that shape their evolution. The last several years have seen the completion of a number of galaxy surveys using Integral Field Units that produce complete spectroscopic mapping at optical wavelengths (MaNGA, CALIFA, SAMI). Those data have produced invaluable information about the stellar and ionized gas components of galaxies. Information about the neutral and molecular phases of the gas, the largest gas reservoirs, has however historically lagged behind. I will present some results from EDGE-CALIFA, a follow up of 126 CALIFA galaxies in CO emission that is currently starting to be expanded with ALMA, and I will discuss future prospects with existing and planned instruments, in particular the ngVLA (a proposal to the Astro2020 Decadal).
