- 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 $441,745.18 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona and their signatures in the solar wind. The grant covers a 4-year period ending in May 2019. The research aims to characterize the properties and dynamics of 3D magnetic islands, streamer blobs, and other reconnection-generated structures in the solar atmosphere and heliosphere. The findings are intended to improve understanding of...
- This is a $395,731.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on energy transport and conversion processes at the interface of the plasma sheet and inner magnetosphere. The research aims to understand the nature of the energy transport process that supports the driving of large amplitude kinetic scale electromagnetic oscillations observed in this region and identify the processes...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is for research into magnetic reconnection, a universal plasma process that converts magnetic energy into plasma jetting and heating. The $845,475 grant, awarded by a civilian federal agency, funds this research into an important phenomenon observed in laboratory, space, solar, and astrophysical contexts. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, demonstrates UC Berkeley's extensive expertise...
- This is a $297,644.99 grant award from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the properties of magnetic flux ropes associated with active magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause. The research aims to study the thermal and non-thermal energization of ions and electrons within these flux ropes, both when the bounding X-lines are active and when they are inactive. The work is aligned with several high-level science goals from the...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded a $524,603 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on field-aligned currents in the near-Earth magnetotail. This research is expected to be completed by February 28, 2026. The grant is not set aside for a specific business type. As a public research university, UC Berkeley has a long history of supporting federal agencies through...
