• Is there any relationship between photospheric flows and flares?, presented at the SPD/Spring AGU meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL, in late May 2008.

• Using Photospheric Flows Estimated from Vector Magnetogram Sequences to Drive MHD Simulations, presented at the SPD/Spring AGU meeting in Fort Lauderdale, FL, late May 2008.

• A talk, Estimating Surface Flows from HMI Magnetograms, presented at the HMI/AIA Teams Meeting in Napa, CA, late March, 2008.

• A talk, What can HMI teach us about flares & CMEs?, presented at the HMI/AIA Teams Meeting in Napa, CA, late March, 2008.

  2. I summarized some of the points in my talk in a manuscript.
  3. My poster, "On the Origin of Strong Gradients in Photospheric Magnetic Fields," Brian Welsch and Yan Li
  4. I also wrote a manuscript based upon this poster.

• From the 2006 Fall AGU, my invited talk, "How Does Free Magnetic Energy Enter the Corona?" Three movies are also linked in the AGU06/ subdirectory:
  1. Flux emergence in AR 8100.
  2. Filament eruptions near the south pole.
  3. An erupting ring filament.

• From the 2006 CAWSES meeting at the Earth Simulator in Yokohama, Japan, my invited talk, "Forecasting Space Weather with Dynamic Coronal Models." Two movies are also linked in the CAWSES/ subdirectory:
  1. A large-scale movie (.avi,4.3 MB) of MDI full-disk images of AR 8210 over the ~24 hrs. of 01 May 1998.
  2. A smaller-scale version (.mpg, 4.2 MB) of the same movie.
