Alphonse Sterling (ST13) gave an installment of the “Capacity Building Lecture” series, organized by the Scientific Committee on Solar-Terrestrial Physics (SCOSTEP). SCOSTEP is a sub-body of the International Science Council focused on solar-terrestrial research. Sterling has been a Scientific Discipline Representative in solar physics for SCOSTEP from 2015. His presentation, entitled “An Overview of the Sun’s Structure, and a Closer Look at Solar Magnetism and Activity,” introduced solar physics concepts at a level aimed at upper undergraduate or graduate students who are studying solar-terrestrial physics with a focus other than the Sun. The presentation was on 4/28/21, with about 30 participants world-wide.
