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...
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 $439,032.37 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to investigate the role of a newly discovered, ultra-low frequency, storm-time wave mode in the inner magnetosphere and its impact on the energization of the ion plasma populating this region of space. The research will use observations from the Van Allen Probes to characterize these waves and quantify their contribution to storm-time ion...
This is a $263,067 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research into the response of the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere system during extreme geomagnetic storms. The project will utilize NASA's 3D multifluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code coupled with other modeling tools to simulate the behavior of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system, with a focus on understanding the fast recovery rate...
This is a $99,997 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for research into foreshock and magnetosheath dynamics using a hybrid simulation code. The research will focus on ultra-low frequency waves, SLAMS (short large-amplitude magnetic structures), and high-speed jets. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park is the prime contractor, and the University System of...
This is a $86,376.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park on March 1, 2022. The grant is for a research project titled "THEMIS Observations of Double-Frequency Compressional PC5 Pulsations in the Dawn and Dusk Sectors of the Magnetosphere." The project is to be completed by June 30, 2022. The University of Maryland, College Park is the prime contractor and sole recipient of this grant, which does not...
This is a $391,825.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to conduct research on the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the loss of relativistic and ultra-relativistic electrons from the Earth's outer radiation belt. The study aims to quantify the contribution of EMIC waves to the removal of the most energetic radiation belt electrons on timescales of minutes to hours, building on recent observations of EMIC...
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 $395,731.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on energy transport and conversion processes at the interface of the plasma sheet and inner magnetosphere. The research aims to understand the nature of the energy transport process that supports the driving of large amplitude kinetic scale electromagnetic oscillations observed in this region and identify the processes...
