About this award
The University of California, Berkeley received a $680,256 grant award from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on September 1, 2021, to conduct research on electromagnetic energy and electron inputs into the dayside/cusp region of Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to quantify how these inputs depend on solar wind variability and their relationship to outflowing ionospheric ions including hydrogen, helium, and oxygen ions. Particular emphasis will be placed on investigating dispersive Alfvén waves, an area that remains poorly studied in magnetospheric physics. The research is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026, and will be conducted at UC Berkeley's Albany, California facility.
This grant award supports fundamental space science research that advances understanding of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes critical to NASA and the National Science Foundation's space weather and heliophysics research objectives. UC Berkeley, as a leading research institution and frequent federal contractor, is well-positioned to conduct this sophisticated scientific investigation. The award was made without set-aside designation, indicating open competition based on scientific merit. The research contributes to the broader federal effort to understand solar wind-magnetosphere interactions and their effects on ionospheric ion outflow, with implications for space weather prediction and understanding planetary atmospheric evolution.
Description
This is a proposal to quantify the electromagnetic energy and electron inputs into the dayside/cusp region, how these inputs depend on solar wind variability, and their relation to outflowing ionospheric ions (e.g., h+, he+, and o+). Particular ATT
