- This $997,040 federal grant award to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) supports research to improve forecasting of large solar energetic particle (SEP) events, which is a critical challenge in solar and heliospheric physics. The research will use data-driven modeling and multipoint observations to examine the connectivity between SEP acceleration regions and observer locations, as well as investigate potential seed populations for large SEP events. The grant does not have a...
- This is a $499,712.05 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the origins and properties of solar wind structures and solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The research aims to improve our understanding of the 3D structure of the heliosphere and solar wind, building upon the goals of the NASA STEREO mission. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley is the prime contractor, and the parent organization is the State...
- This is a $861,330.72 grant from NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on solar eruptive events. The goal is to use data-driven numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to understand how energized active regions on the Sun trigger coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other severe space weather disturbances. The research aims to determine the roles of photospheric boundary flows, adjacent magnetic fields, flux...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $133,316.95 training grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant will fund research to obtain new measurements of the Sun's magnetic field interior to the Earth's orbit, using the time delay of arrival method to trace the trajectories of type III solar radio bursts. The objectives are to evaluate the accuracy of this method, automate the...
- This is a $191,510.00 grant award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research related to coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their effects on Earth. The award, with a completion date of May 9, 2024, was made on May 10, 2021 and does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley, a leading public research university, is the prime contractor on this grant. The research aims to provide new information relevant to understanding CMEs and their impact on Earth. UC...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $499,998.21 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to enhance a solar corona model and improve understanding of the Sun's corona. The one-year research effort aims to upgrade the Coronal Global Evolutionary Model (CGEM), driven by data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory mission, and analyze the model's output compared to observations....
- This award is a $411,460.44 grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant will support a project that involves analyzing data from spacecraft such as Helios, Wind, and ACE, as well as developing simulations using a Langevin model/collisional hybrid expanding box code. The research aims to study the...
- This is a $596,818.34 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) on April 1, 2017. The grant supports an investigation of momentum processes in solar eruptions by combining multi-instrument observations and numerical modeling. The research aims to address key questions related to the evolution of the photospheric magnetic field and its relation to the Lorentz force during solar eruptions, the...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $413,075 grant award from a civilian federal agency (through the Shared Services Center) on October 1, 2021, to conduct research on "Properties of the Suprathermal Ion Population in the Inner Heliosphere During Quiet Times." The research grant, which extends through September 30, 2026, represents a competitive award with no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's selection based on scientific merit. UC Berkeley, a premier...
- This is a $367,127.99 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the structure and variability of the solar wind. The research aims to investigate how the magnetic geometry of the solar corona influences the heliospheric solar wind. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program. As a parent organization, the State of California Controller's Office would administer any funding provided to UC Berkeley under this grant. UC Berkeley...
This is a $89,684 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to develop a solar energetic proton (SEP) modeling capability. The project, referred to as SEPMod, aims to simulate the time series of SEP fluxes at locations in the inner heliosphere, including the orbit of Mars. It will leverage the data-driven WSA-ENLIL-Cone model to describe heliospheric conditions. The deliverables include a proof-of-concept real-time implementation at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC), an upgraded version that can handle higher proton energies, and the incorporation of coronal field reflection. The award has no set-aside designation, and the University of California, Berkeley is the prime recipient, with the State of California Controller's Office as the parent organization. This contract supports NASA's space physics research and space weather modeling capabilities.
