Fortunately, the new generation of deep,
wide-area (> 1 square degree) extragalactic
surveys — designed to study the evolution
of galaxies over a wide range in environ-
ment — can complement MCAO facilities by
both containing suitable asterisms and hav-
ing the multi-wavelength coverage needed
to obtain photometric redshifts and star for-
mation rates for the galaxies in the field. The
Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume
Survey (SERVS; Mauduit et al., 2012) and as-
sociated VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observa-
tions (VIDEO) survey (Jarvis et al., 2013) pro-
vide 12 square degrees of deep near-infrared
observations in seven bands from 0.9-4.5 mi-
crons (μm), enough area to fin
