Magnetic Fields on the Sun: All That Stuff From E&M Really Works!

Dr. Brian Welsch
from UC Berkeley

Darwin 103
4:00 PM

Dr. Brian Welsch from UC Berkeley will present this talk. Essentially all solar activity is modulated by the Sun's magnetic field, ranging from dramatic solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) to longer-term radiance variations that can affect terrestrial climate. As it happens, several concepts discussed in courses covering electricity and magnetism (E & M) have direct application in modeling solar magnetic fields. [Available on DVD in the SSU library.]
