In this thesis, we discuss several results concerning constant mean curvature surfaces. We prove that an embedded constant mean curvature disk with Gaussian curvature large at a point contains a multi-valued graph around that point on the scale of |A|2. This generalizes Colding and Minicozzi's result for minimal surfaces. Moreover, we provide examples of CMC surfaces containing arbitrary large multivalued graphs.
