These data have been used to derive photometric redshifts, rest-frame SEDs, stellar masses, dust absorptions, and star formation rates. At UCSC, we have studied this new database for galaxies below z = 2.5 with the goal of elucidating the simplicity -- or lack of it -- of galactic evolution of star-forming galaxies at mid-to-late cosmic epochs. Star-forming galaxies at these times appear to exhibit only a small number of independent parameters, which can plausibly be linked to properties of their evolving dark-matter halos. However, a puzzle has emerged concerning the relationship between radius and dust corrections, which may force revision to our present dust-correction model. Host: Susan Kassin
