This is a $2,316,190.15 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), a research university within the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports research to understand how the Earth's atmosphere responds to solar variability. The work aims to advance knowledge of the physical processes that mix the upper atmosphere and the connections between the Sun and Earth's...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $498,395.00 grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, for research related to the Enhanced Data Products for the GOES-R Series Energetic Heavy Ion Sensor (SEISS.EHIS). This grant-funded project, which has a completion date of March 19, 2026, is not designated as a set-aside. UNH, a non-profit 1862 Land Grant College, has a history of performing research-related services...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $663,177 grant for research to the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), through its University of New Hampshire (UNH) division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The research contract, titled "UNRAVELING THE ROLE OF ALFVENIC FLUCTUATIONS AS MEDIATORS OF MAGNETIC COHERENCE WITHIN INTERPLANETARY CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS," has a completion date of May 23, 2027. UNH, as a non-profit 1862 Land Grant College...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $418,685.82 grant for research to the University of New Hampshire's (UNH) Office of Sponsored Research, a division of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The three-year grant will fund a study of Kelvin-Helmholtz waves at the Earth's magnetopause, which can facilitate plasma entry into the magnetosphere and generate ULF waves. As a non-profit, land-grant educational institution, UNH has extensive...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $440,679.23 grant for research to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), which is part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The research project involves using state-of-the-art numerical simulations to study the properties of material ejected during the merger of neutron stars and black holes, which is critical for modeling kilonovae and understanding the enrichment of heavy elements in the universe. The grant does...
The University of New Hampshire (UNH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, has been awarded an $817,526 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the science goals and objectives of how the solar wind flowing past the terrestrial magnetosphere changes over time, including abruptly. No set-aside designation was used for this award. Work will be performed at a location in Lee, New Hampshire and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024. UNH will...
This is a $243,170.00 grant award to the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), acting through its University of New Hampshire (UNH) division, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "LANDAU DAMPING OF KINETIC ALFV N WAVES AND THE IONOSPHERIC PARTICLE PRECIPITATION SIGNATURES ASSOCIATED WITH MAGNETIC RECONNECTION".
