Abstract

We review the current status of our survey of galaxies in fields of HST target QSOs, which has allowed us to identify the galaxies responsible for a number of Lyman-α absorption systems. We emphasize the use of QSO absorption lines to study the structure and kinematics of the large gaseous halos that virtually all galaxies appear to possess.
