Abstract

This talk will review the current state-of-affairs concerning solar dynamo theory. A recent sensationalized publication by Professor Valentina Zharkova has prompted a concerted effort to produce an accurate spectral collocation MHD simulation in order to demonstrate the feasibility of a mult-mode dynamo process in the convective layer of the sun. As such, we will review of the Grand Minima Problem and provide a brief review of our spectral collocation technique and provide an illustrative geodynamo model calculation recently announced at the Wessex Institute demonstrating the advantages of this method.
