This $427,518.77 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research into the dynamics of the Earth's outer radiation belt during geomagnetic storms. The research will utilize data from NASA's Van Allen Probes, THEMIS, MMS, and Aerocube6 missions to characterize the spatial, temporal, and amplitude distributions of ultra-low frequency (ULF) and very-low frequency (VLF) waves that control electron loss and...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) with a ceiling value of $561,078.29. The grant is for research to study mechanisms for generating long-lasting pulsations observed by the Van Allen Probes in the dayside magnetosphere, survey magnetic transient events, and study the propagation of interplanetary shocks through the magnetosphere. This grant is part of NASA's "MULTISATELLITE...
This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to investigate the global distribution properties of long-lasting ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves and their interactions with energetic particles. The $778,276.98 grant will fund research using data from the Van Allen Probes to study wave-particle resonance, modulation, and particle acceleration. This work is intended to provide...
This is a three-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a study on particle energization processes in Mercury's magnetosphere. The $440,642.92 award will fund research to create a comprehensive list of upstream solar wind parameters, conduct surveys of plasma sheet crossings, identify high solar wind speeds, and perform wave surveys. The goal is to provide key results on fundamental particle energization...

This is a $141,749.84 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to develop a state-of-the-art model for forecasting the dynamics of the Earth's radiation belt and energetic plasma environment. The project aims to improve the ability to model and predict the ultra-low frequency (ULF) wave power and resulting radial diffusion coefficients, which are key processes controlling the acceleration, transport, and loss of energetic electrons in the radiation belt. The model will be validated using ground-based magnetometer data and observations from the Van Allen Probes satellite mission. This work directly supports NASA and NOAA's goals to advance forecast models of energetic particles in the Earth's magnetosphere. There is no set-aside designation for this grant. The University System of Maryland, which oversees UMD, has also received federal contracts and grants for research, infrastructure, and other academic activities.
