OverviewThese proceedings summarize the current state of understanding of QSO absorption lines and review the new observations, especially from HST and Keck, as well as the theoretical insights. Topics covered include damped Lyman-alpha systems, abundances, absorption lines from gas in our galaxy, metal-rich systems at low and intermediate redshifts, BAL QSOs and quasar environment, Lyman-alpha systems at low and high redshifts, large-scale structure, the UV background, and formation of absorbing systems.
