Abstract
This thesis investigates the topology and geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds containing totally geodesic surfaces. In chapter 2 we find algebraic invariants associated to several families of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary. In chapter 3 we describe examples of hyperbolic knot complements in rational homology 3-spheres containing closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces.
