About this award

This is a $879,930.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct research on the Sun's deep-seated convective flows and their role in sustaining solar magnetism and differential rotation. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2024, will support exploration of the solar dynamo process and how these deep convective flows are structured. The award is not designated as a set-aside contract. CU, a prominent public research university, has a robust portfolio of federal contract and grant awards across multiple scientific and technological domains, including space sciences, climate research, and quantum technologies. The university frequently collaborates with prime contractors on complex scientific and technological projects, demonstrating its extensive expertise and strategic importance in supporting federal scientific exploration and technological advancement.

Description

The sun's deep-seated convective flows must ultimately sustain both the efficient EMF from which solar magnetism derives and the differential rotation and meridional circulation thought to imbue that magnetism with its remarkable spatiotemporal ordering. Exploration of the dynamo process ultimately requires knowledge of how these deep convective flows are structured, and yet present helioseismic techniques have only recently been able to image flows in the lower portion of the convection zone.
