In this talk, I will survey some local and global aspects of Weil-Petersson geometry of Teichmuller spaces, where the Weil-Petersson metric is the canonical L^2 metric on the space of hyperbolic metrics on a Riemann surface. The Weil-Petersson metric is not complete, but it is so-called CAT(0) space, which features some good features from the viewpoint of convex geometry.
