Description
Observations of solar oscillations provide powerful diagnostics for
probing the interior of the Sun. I will discuss the basic principles
of helioseismology, and present an overview of recent observational
results from the SOHO space mission and ground-based networks,
including the differential rotation, meridional circulation,
structure and dynamics of sunspots and magnetic active regions. I
will also present new observations of `sunquake' events produced by
solar flares, and discuss their relationship to flare energy
release, and helioseismic diagnostics of flaring active regions.
