- This is a $447,218.89 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research related to the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The objective is to advance the understanding of electron acceleration at collisionless shocks using MMS data. The proposed project will analyze measurements from MMS to address specific questions about where in the shock transition layer electrons are energized and how upstream...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $226,349.78 grant is for a research project investigating electron heating and isotropization at the Earth's bow shock, which is relevant to NASA's Heliophysics program and the goals of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey. The project will analyze data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded a $125,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate dispersionless relativistic electrons in Earth's plasma sheet reconnection region using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The one-year cost-reimbursement contract will support research analyzing MMS measurements to characterize electron...
- This is a $330,210.00 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for a research project to study the temporal and spatial scales of whistler-type waves, chorus, and hiss in the Earth's radiation belts. The research aims to determine the wave processes and scales that lead to electron heating, acceleration, and precipitation in the radiation belts. This work contributes...
- This is a $309,918.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant supports three research topics: 1) statistical analysis of newly discovered wave activities in the inner magnetosphere, 2) analysis of adiabatic vs. non-adiabatic effects in electron heating and acceleration, and 3) modeling the generation process and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $513,062.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The objective of this grant is to decompose and characterize the energy transport processes through the plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetotail using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The research aims to identify and quantify the contributions...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $453,052 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the microphysics of supercritical collisionless shocks in astrophysical environments. The research aims to probe the electromagnetic and electrostatic processes that occur at the Earth's bow shock, which serves as a natural laboratory for studying these phenomena. The grant,...
- The U.S. government has awarded a three-year extension valued at $110,000 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as UC Berkeley, for continuation of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission Operations. This grant award, issued on January 1, 2025, with completion targeted for February 28, 2026, supports ongoing mission operations activities performed at UC Berkeley's Albany, California location. The award carries no set-aside designation, indicating it was competitively...
- This is a $490,344.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is for research on collisionless shocks, which play crucial roles in astrophysical and heliospheric plasmas, from solar wind interaction with planets to acceleration of cosmic rays. The grant has a performance period from February 14, 2020 to February 13, 2026. It is not...
- 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...
