Abstract
We collect several results concerning regularity of minimal laminations, and governing the various modes of convergence for sequences of minimal laminations. We then apply this theory to prove that a function has locally least gradient (is 1-harmonic) iff its level sets are a minimal lamination; this resolves an open problem of Daskalopoulos and Uhlenbeck.
