Abstract: Astrophysical and cosmological observations have allowed us to measure the abundance of dark matter and have provided important information on its properties. I will discuss past, present and future efforts to map the gravitational footprint of dark matter throughout the cosmos, and what such studies can (and cannot) tell us about dark matter’s fundamental nature. I will also review how even tiny non-gravitational interactions of dark and visible matter could lead to a range of “indirect detection” signals, and outline the status and prospects of searches for such signals, with a focus on the next decade or so.
