- 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...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) valued at $194,947.67. The grant is for research on the "Oscillations of Magnetospheric Field Lines with High Azimuthal Wavenumbers (M)" and how they relate to solar wind conditions. The research aims to quantify the occurrence and characteristics of these high-m waves in the magnetosphere, which are important for understanding the dynamics of...
- 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...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has been awarded an $84,826 grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to develop a unified empirical framework characterizing ultra-low frequency (ULF) modulated electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC), equatorial chorus (ECH), and whistler-mode chorus waves, and their collective effects on particle dynamics. The research initiative, which commenced on July 1, 2025, is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026, and will be conducted...
- 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 is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research related to the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. The $650,474.92 grant does not have a set-aside designation and will run through March 7, 2024. UCLA, through its Office of Research Administration, will use a combination of data from the Fast Auroral Snapshot (FAST) and Time History of Events and...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The $1,372,880.77 grant is for a study to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effects of global-local interactions on the heating and acceleration of ions and electrons observed at Earth's magnetopause and in the magnetotail. The research aims to determine the origin of...
- This is a $463,067 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves and the magnetopause in the rapid dropouts of ultrarelativistic electrons in the Earth's radiation belt. The research aims to address key goals in NASA's Heliophysics Decadal Survey related to understanding the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere. The grant supports...
- This is a $643,295.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research on the characteristics of ionospheric currents related to magnetospheric reconnection and substorm events. The overarching goal is to improve understanding of the relationship between fast plasma flows in the magnetosphere and the corresponding responses in the ionosphere, including equivalent ionospheric currents and field-aligned...
- This is a $114,653.77 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study the role of kinetic ballooning instability in triggering substorm onset in the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to determine the properties of pre-onset and onset waves in the near-Earth plasma sheet and their connection to the instability driving substorm onset. The grant leverages data from NASA's THEMIS and GEOTAIL satellite...
