GAMA is a project to exploit the latest generation of ground-based and space-borne survey facilities to study cosmology and galaxy formation and evolution.

At the heart of this project lies the GAMA spectroscopic survey of ~300,000 galaxies down to r < 19.8 mag over ~286 deg 2 , carried out using the AAOmega multi-object spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) by the GAMA team . This project was awarded 210 nights over 7 years (2008–2014) and the observations are now completed. This survey builds on, and is augmented by, previous spectroscopic surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) , the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Mil

On the imaging side, GAMA uses public data as well as conducting its own campaigns. In addition, the GAMA team has coordinated survey regions and negotiated data sharing agreements with a number of independent imaging survey teams:
