- 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 $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...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $160,056.00 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to research the asymmetric nature of the Earth's magnetotail current sheet and its impact on magnetic reconnection. This research aims to better understand the physics behind the observed dawn-dusk preference in magnetotail phenomena. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCLA will use spacecraft observations, data analysis, and 3D...
- 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...
