Description
Observations of the cosmic microwave background and the large scale
structure of the Universe provide an extremely powerful laboratory for
probing neutrino physics. For example, the masses of light standard model
neutrinos are far better constrained by cosmology than by direct laboratory
measurements, and some non-standard properties can at present only be tested
using cosmological data. I will review the current status of neutrino
physics in relation to cosmology and then proceed to discuss the impact of
future high-precision observations by new probes such as the upcoming EUCLID
satellite.
