SUMMARY:The Evolution of Star-Forming Galaxies across Cosmic Time\, with H

DESCRIPTION:HiZELS\, the High-z Emission Line Survey\, is a successful pan
 oramic narrow-band Campaign Survey using WFCAM on UKIRT to detect and stud
 y emission line galaxies over the history of the universe.  HiZELS employs
  narrow-band filters in the J\,H and K-bands\, with the primary aim of del
 ivering large identically-selected samples of H-alpha emitting galaxies at
  redshifts of 0.84\, 1.47 and 2.23.  I will describe the project\, provide
  a summary of the project status\, and detail the main scientific results 
 obtained so far: determination of the H-alpha luminosity function and meas
 urement of the evolution of the cosmic star-formation rate density across 
 the peak epoch of star-formation activity in the universe\, using a single
  star-formation indicator\; determination of the morphologies\, masses\, e
 nvironments and dust-content of the star-forming galaxies\; study of how s
 tar-formation activity depends on a galaxy's mass and environment at high 
 redshift\; a detailed investigation of the evolution of the clustering pro
 perties of star-forming galaxies.
