- This is a five-year, $735,536 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study the characteristics and behavior of plasma flow bursts in the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to identify how these meso-scale flow bursts interact with the large-scale structure of the plasma sheet and lead to geomagnetic disturbances and particle injections into the inner magnetosphere. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $601,257.94 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The grant supports research to understand the physical mechanisms driving modulations of electromagnetic waves, known as chorus and electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH) waves, in the Earth's magnetosphere and their impact on magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. The research aims to analyze electron...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research related to the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. The $650,474.92 grant does not have a set-aside designation and will run through March 7, 2024. UCLA, through its Office of Research Administration, will use a combination of data from the Fast Auroral Snapshot (FAST) and Time History of Events and...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the amount of $569,448.96. The grant is focused on using data analysis and modeling techniques to quantitatively understand heavy ion enhancements in the inner magnetosphere, such as the oxygen torus and the equatorial density enhancement. This includes research on the formation and evolution of storm-time heavy ion enhancement in the inner...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $603,657.00 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - doing business as the Office of Research Administration. This three-year research grant is focused on investigating kinetic processes and multi-scale structures in the Earth's magnetopause boundary layers, with the goal of better understanding plasma dynamics and energy conversion in this region. The research will leverage a combination of simulations and...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, has been awarded a $493,848.07 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a model that can specify and forecast the energetic particle environment and plasma conditions encountered by spacecraft within the Earth's magnetosphere. The two-year research effort will leverage an artificial neural network trained on data from various satellites, including Van Allen...
- This federal contract award with ID NNX16AF76G was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the generation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The $433,267.27 grant aims to determine the conditions under which EMIC waves form and quantify their effects on the loss of relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt and ring current ions. The research...
- This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The $656,391.00 grant supports the continuation of the Van Allen Probes mission, which has significantly advanced our understanding of the Earth's radiation environment. The contract is classified as a research grant and does not have a set-aside designation. As the prime contractor, UCLA...
This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through the UCLA Office of Research Administration. The $451,126 grant is for a 5-year research project focused on understanding the density structures and ion circulation in the inner magnetosphere, specifically addressing questions about the oxygen torus, warm plasma cloak, and plasmaspheric plume. The research utilizes data from the Van Allen Probes and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) missions, along with numerical modeling, to better characterize these plasma populations and their role in magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. This work aims to improve space weather models and predictions of radiation belt dynamics, storm-time convection, and ionosphere electron density. The contract has no set-aside designation and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles. As the parent organization, the California State Controller's Office provides administrative support to UCLA as the prime grantee.
