\subsection{Introduction}  The team members enjoyed a very productive period of collaboration during the Galactic Archaeology and Precision Stellar Astrophysics program at KITP in 2015. That collaboration led to the production of two papers on red giant seismology, asteroseismology,  recently submitted to Science and Nature. the first paper discussed the ability to measure magnetic fields in red giant stars using asteroseismology, and the second used this technique to constrain/measure magnetic fields in thousands of red giant stars. We believe this work has paved the way to a new sub-field of stellar astrophysics that is ripe for additional study. Consequently, there are several research topics which we wish to pursue during a follow-up visit to KITP. \subsection{Project Overview}
