Abstract: This talk shall be an introduction to some aspects of Teichmueller theory, which is concerned with the parameter space of marked Riemann surfaces. I shall describe Wolf's parametrization of Teichmueller space using harmonic maps, and discuss how it extends to the Thurston compactification. If time permits, I will describe some recent joint work with Wolf.
