Research: Coronal Hole Tracking as an Indicator of Global and Local Field Configuration

Coronal holes are regions marked by a drop in intensity as seen in the solar coronal images. These events can occur in association with coronal mass ejections, and as a result of magnetic field reconfiguration. Advised by graduate student Chris Lowder, I will analyze the evolution of coronal holes over several time periods, to gain information regarding the global magnetic field topology
