β¦ Synopsis
Future studies of: (1) galaxy property relationships, (2) environmental dependencies, and (3) the merger rate and accretion histories will require: (a) large solid angle (with large area/boundary ratio), (b) multi-band imaging, (c) high signal-to-noise and high resolution imaging, and (d) spectroscopy. All of these things will be provided by the next generation of wide-field surveys.

Wide-field imaging from space will reveal a wealth of information about the globular cluster systems of any galaxies in the local universe that are observed by such a mission. Individual globular clusters around galaxies in the local universe have compact sizes that are ideal for the excellent spati
