This project aims to improve our understanding of solar variability and to introduce the field to students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. The PI will study mechanisms that give rise to the solar cycle and their influence on solar structure and dynamics, using a combination of modeling and helioseismic analysis. Particular attention will be paid to helioseismic study of the outer layers of the Sun, where all observable solar-cycle related changes are known to occur.The PI will involve students in this study with the aim of exposing them to unsolved problems in solar physics. Students will be introduced to solar physics in general, and solar variability and its effects in particular. This will be done through providing a combination of classroom teaching and research experiences in various topics related to solar physics.In addition, the PI will collaborate with Yale New Haven Teachers Institute to assist K-12 teachers in developing public school curricula about the Sun and its influence on earth.

该项目旨在提高我们对太阳可变性的理解，并向本科生和研究生介绍这一领域。PI将利用建模和日震分析相结合的方法，研究太阳周期的产生机制及其对太阳结构和动力学的影响。将特别关注太阳外层的日震研究，所有与太阳周期有关的可观测变化都发生在那里。PI将让学生参与这项研究，目的是让他们接触到太阳物理中尚未解决的问题。学生将被介绍一般的太阳物理，特别是太阳的可变性及其影响。这将通过提供与太阳物理相关的不同主题的课堂教学和研究经验相结合的方式来完成。此外，国际和平研究所将与耶鲁大学纽黑文师范学院合作，协助K-12教师开发关于太阳及其对地球影响的公立学校课程。
