The Morphological evolution of galaxies

I review the general progress made in the study of galaxy evolution concentrating on the impact of systematic ground-based spectroscopic surveys of faint galaxies and high resolution imaging with Hubble Space Telescope. The picture emerging is one where massive regular galaxies have changed little since redshift

z\simeq

1, whereas there has been a marked decline in the abundance of less massive star forming dwarf galaxies. Reconciling these trends with the conventional hierarchical growth of structure on galactic scales and determining the fate of the star forming dwarfs remains a major unsolved problem in contemporary cosmology
