The majority of baryons in the Universe is believed to reside in the intergalactic medium (IGM). This makes the IGM an important component in understanding cosmological structure formation. It is expected to trace the same dark matter distribution as galaxies, forming structures like filaments and clusters. However, whereas galaxies can be observed to be arranged along these large-scale structures, the spatial distribution of the diffuse IGM is not as easily unveiled. Absorption line studies of quasar (QSO) spectra can help with mapping the IGM, as well as the boundary layer between IGM and galaxies: the circumgalactic medium (CGM). By studying gas in the Local Group, as well as in the IGM, this study aims to get a better understanding of how the gas is linked to the large-scale structure of the local Universe and the galaxies residing in that structure. Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the CGM and IGM, while the methods used in this study are explained in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 starts on a relatively small cosmological scale, namely ...
