This is a five-year, $735,536 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study the characteristics and behavior of plasma flow bursts in the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to identify how these meso-scale flow bursts interact with the large-scale structure of the plasma sheet and lead to geomagnetic disturbances and particle injections into the inner magnetosphere. This grant does not have a set-aside...
This $50,606.14 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), acting through its Office of Research Administration division. The grant supports research into the role of the inner magnetospheric electric field in magnetospheric dynamics and its influence on coupling to the ionosphere and earthward particle transport during magnetic storms. This research directly aligns with NASA's mission and science...
This $564,645 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - through its Office of Research Administration - supports research examining the aurora, currents, and plasma flows in the auroral ionosphere. The award, which has no set-aside designation, will fund this work over a period ending on March 8, 2026. As the prime grantee, UCLA will leverage its scientific expertise, facilities, and partnerships to further...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $603,657.00 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - doing business as the Office of Research Administration. This three-year research grant is focused on investigating kinetic processes and multi-scale structures in the Earth's magnetopause boundary layers, with the goal of better understanding plasma dynamics and energy conversion in this region. The research will leverage a combination of simulations and...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), for a research project to study the propagation of impulses in the Earth's magnetosphere. The $471,045.26 grant aims to quantitatively evaluate the travel time of sudden impulses and nightside transients in the magnetosphere using data from several NASA and other agency missions. The investigation addresses fundamental physics questions and seeks to validate...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $626,056.03 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on particle acceleration and injection processes related to magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail. This grant, which has no set-aside designation, supports a synergistic study using multi-spacecraft observations from the THEMIS and ARTEMIS missions as well as particle-in-cell simulations. The research aims to investigate the...
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $182,120 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports research on electromagnetic cyclotron waves observed in the solar wind between 0.3 and 1 astronomical units from the sun. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. As the prime contractor, UCLA will leverage its research expertise and facilities in Los...
This is a $672,570.60 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research related to understanding the impact of transient events in the solar wind on the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to address three key questions: 1) how foreshock transients evolve as they propagate from the solar wind to the magnetosheath, 2) the 3D structure of magnetopause distortions caused by these transients, and 3) the...
This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the amount of $938,767. The research will focus on magnetic reconnection, a process that converts magnetic energy to plasma energy through changes in magnetic field lines. The grant has a period of performance from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2024 and does not have a set-aside designation. UCLA is the prime contractor and will perform the...
This is a $489,235 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere and their connection to substorms. The research aims to understand the generation of compressional PI2 waves in the tail region of the magnetosphere by fast plasma flows and the inward propagation of these waves to the inner magnetosphere. The grant does not have a...
