Seismological techniques are now being applied in regimes throughout the universe to elucidate the physical properties and behavior of dynamic structures. Sound waves, magneto-hydrodynamic waves, and other propagating disturbances allow researchers to "sound out" the interior structure and dynamics of a wide range of geophysical and astrophysical objects. The development of remote sensing techniques using Doppler signatures have allowed us to determine the interior flows and structure of the Sun, providing an unprecedented view of the inner workings of our nearest star. Additionally, the field of asteroseismology is helping us to perform similar research on other stars, which in turn allows us to better understand our own Sun by providing other data points on the stellar spectrum. The new field of coronal seismology is providing the ability to deduce physical parameters that aren't accessible through direct observations, by modeling the dynamics of structures in the solar atmosphere in response to a variety of impulsive transients.
As these applications of seismology continue to flourish, terrestrial seismologists have also produced new advances in data collection and interpretation. This special session welcomes presentations on scientific results, innovative techniques, and new applications in all fields of seismology, with a special emphasis on the parallels between these fields.
