The coronal heating problem has been a fundamental astrophysical issue for over sixty years. For the last decade, Yohkoh, SOHO and TRACE have revealed in unprecedented detail the complex and often subtle magnetic field and plasma interactions throughout the solar atmosphere. Without question it is now believed that any energy release mechanism is magnetic in origin - the challenge now posed is to determine what specific heat input is dominating in a given coronal feature throughout the solar cycle. This review outlines a range of possible coronal heating theories, the accumulating evidence for quasi-periodic oscillations and small-scale energy bursts occurring in the corona as well as current attempts to interpret plasma temperature, density and velocity diagnostics in the light of specific energy release mechanisms.
