Description
Helioseismology has revolutionised our understanding of the Sun’s
internal structure and dynamics, offering unparalleled insights into
processes hidden beneath the solar surface. In this review, I will
summarise key developments in global and local helioseismology,
including recent advances in determining large-scale flows in the solar
interior. I will highlight the current status of refining solar models
due to revised elemental abundances, and recent advances in
time-distance and ring-diagram methods for mapping subsurface magnetism,
providing context for active region formation. I will also discuss the
emerging frontiers in helioseismology, such as connecting seismic
signatures to solar activity and space weather, or the study of Rossby
Waves. Finally, I will outline how new missions and observations promise
to extend the diagnostic power of helioseismology and address
outstanding challenges at the interface of waves, instabilities, and
magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere.
