Based on its all-sky surveys and redshift depth, the SKA is destined to revolutionize cosmology, in combination with future optical/ infrared surveys such as Euclid and LSST. Furthermore, we will not have to wait for the full deployment of the SKA in order to see transformational science. In the first phase of deployment (SKA1), all-sky HI intensity mapping surveys and all-sky continuum surveys are forecast to be at the forefront on the major questions of cosmology. We give a broad overview of the major contributions predicted for the SKA. The SKA will not only deliver precision cosmology -- it will also probe the foundations of the standard model and open the door to new discoveries on large-scale features of the Universe. date: 2014-01-01 publisher: SISSA official_url: https://pos.sissa.it/ oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1008925 lyricists_name: Abdalla, Filipe lyricists_id: FBABD21 actors_name: Abdalla, Filipe actors_id: FBABD21 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Proceedings of Science place_of_pub: Giardini Naxos, Italy event_title: Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array issn: 1824-8039 book_title: Proceedings of Science citation: Maartens, R; Abdalla, FB; Jarvis, M; Santos, MG; (2014) Cosmology with the SKA – overview.
