A Spectroscopic Survey of the Fields of Strong Gravitational Lenses

This dissertation presents an algorithm for identifying galaxy groups, describes the effects of galaxy groups in the environments of strong gravitational lenses and elsewhere along their sightlines, and investigates the properties of brightest group galaxies. We develop an algorithm to identify gal...
