Abstract: The Gaia satellite is transforming our understanding of the distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way. I’ll discuss the impact on terrestrial experiments searching for dark matter of sub-structures that have recently been detected in the Milky Way's dark matter halo with Gaia data: the 'Gaia Sausage' and 'Dark Shards’. Based on arXiv:1807.09004, arXiv:1810.11468 and arXiv:1909.04684 in collaboration with Ciaran O'Hare, Wyn Evans, GyuChul Myeong and Vasily Berlokurov.
