I present results from a survey from the Supernova Cosmology Project SCP) using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). By targeting massive galaxy clusters at 0.9 < z < 1.5, we obtain a twofold improvement in the efficiency of finding SNe compared to an HST field survey and a factor of 3 improvement in the total yield of SN detections in
relatively dust-free red-sequence galaxies. The survey strategy also provides a probe for a wealth of cluster physics such as the evolution of cluster galaxies, mass-scaling relations, and the abundance of rare, massive objects. In this talk, I will describe the analysis and
show results across the varied themes of cluster evolution, galaxy evolution, abundance of massive clusters, and supernova studies.
