The properties of galaxy clusters in the local universe have been fairly well determined in the past few decades, and wide field surveys in the near infrared are converging on a statistically significant sample of high redshift clusters. These catalogs may soon allow discrimination between the competing models of galaxy formation and evolution [ 1 ]. The Oxford-Dartmouth Thirty Degree Survey (ODT) will span four widely separated 3° x 3° fields, to B < 26 in UBVRi'Z with an extension in the near-infrared to K < 19. With more than half of the survey completed, this deep, wide-area, multi-color dataset has yielded a large sample of K-selected clusters to probe the formation and evolution history of galaxies in dense environments. An exploration of cluster color-magnitude slopes and intercepts [2], luminosity functions [3], and morphological distributions [4,5] should constrain the relative dominance of star formation rates and merger events on cluster galaxy evolution. Here, we present our cluster-finding method and preliminary results.
