Abstract: The Arecibo Galaxy Environments Survey (AGES) is a 2000-hour neutral hydrogen (HI) survey using the new Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) multibeam instrument at Arecibo Observatory. It will cover 200 square degrees of sky, sampling a range of environments from the Local Void through to the Virgo Cluster with higher sensitivity, spatial resolution and velocity resolution than previous neutral hydrogen surveys.<br />Comment: IAU Symposium 235 - Galaxy Evolution across the Hubble Time. 3 pages (only 1 st to appear in printed proceedings), 3 figures.
