This is a $395,773.83 grant awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a public research university. The purpose of the grant is to characterize changes in the neutral atmosphere during geomagnetic storms in order to improve the modeling of ion-neutral interactions in the topside ionosphere. This research supports NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program goals of developing the scientific...
The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $614,573.66 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the importance of including low-frequency hiss, exohiss, and plasmapause-organized hiss in predictive modeling of electron dynamics in the inner magnetosphere. The research aims to quantify the impact of these "missing" aspects of hiss physics...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $783,454 grant to the University of Colorado for a research project to investigate how the Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere respond to extreme space weather events. The University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and public research institution, will use its expertise in space physics modeling to simulate the impacts of severe solar storms on the upper atmosphere and associated effects on satellite operations....

The grant is for a 4-year project to address Focus Science Topic #2, "Understanding and Predicting Radiation Belt Loss in the Coupled Magnetosphere", and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado is a U.S. state government entity and...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $699,021.00 grant to the University of Colorado, a public research institution, to conduct research on the "STORM-TIME COUPLING OF LOW-LATITUDE F-REGION IONOSPHERIC PLASMA DRIFTS AND THERMOSPHERIC NEUTRAL WINDS AND THEIR IMPACT ON PLASMA DENSITY DISTRIBUTION." This fundamental research project aims to improve scientific understanding of space weather's effects on the Earth's ionosphere and thermosphere. The...
This is a $735,456.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a public research university. The grant will fund a project titled "High-Time-Resolution Observation from MMS Guided by Simulations of Reconnecting Plasmas Reveal that Both Electron and Ion" over a period ending on August 31, 2025. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation and is structured as a grant for research. The University of...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $906,946.01 grant, awarded on September 12, 2017, is for investigating the effects of stochastic (diffusive) transport processes versus coherent interactions of energetic particles with large-scale magnetospheric disturbances. The research aims to expand scientific...
This is a $592,566.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct research on the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. The research aims to delineate and understand how complexity in the form of time-varying longitude structures is introduced into the ionosphere through lower atmosphere coupling, the longitude-dependent magnetic field, and time-varying solar flux. The data to be...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $223,458.42 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant, titled "ION CYCLOTRON WAVES AND PLASMA SOURCES AND TRANSPORT IN JUPITER'S MAGNETOSPHERE," is for fundamental research related to the study of Jupiter's magnetosphere. As a premier public research university, the University of Colorado...
This is a $154,073.43 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado to study the dissipation of magnetospheric energy in the upper atmosphere. The research aims to understand the physical processes that drive temperature inversions observed in the lower thermosphere, such as changes in Joule heating, auroral particle precipitation, and other effects. The work combines lidar observations, satellite data, and a coupled thermosphere-ionosphere-plasmasphere model to address key science...

This is a $237,675.87 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for a research project examining the physical processes that control the cold ion composition in the plasmasphere. The grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Heliophysics program.

The research project aims to use numerical simulations, data analysis, and model validation to better understand the evolution and distribution of heavy cold ions in the plasmasphere, and how this affects processes like wave-particle interactions and magnetospheric dynamics. The findings could improve models of radiation belt dynamics, which is a key science goal of NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) and Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (TWINS) missions. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
