Weak gravitational lensing can be combined with distance information from galaxy redshifts to great effect in 3-D weak lensing. With both shear and redshift information I show how the full 3-D dark matter distribution can be reconstructed and present a first application to the COMBO-17 data-set. In addition, I describe the Jain-Taylor geometric test, taking ratios of galaxy shear at different distances, as a probe of the dark energy in the universe and present a preliminary application to COMBO-17.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
