- This is a $607,947 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms that transfer energy between electromagnetic fields and charged particles in the solar wind. The project aims to identify and characterize the specific plasma and solar wind conditions under which different energy transfer mechanisms dominate, in order to improve global models of the heliosphere. The research will...
- The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) was awarded a $658,369 research grant by NASA on October 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. This civilian research grant supports investigations into the solar wind—the continuous streams of charged particles emitted by the Sun that transport energy and magnetic fields through interplanetary space to the heliospheric boundary. The project leverages in situ observations collected by NASA's fleet of spacecraft positioned...
- The University of Texas at Arlington received a $447,505 research grant from a federal civilian agency (Shared Services Center) for a study examining neutral wind shear and its impact on electrodynamics and meso-scale plasma structures. The award, issued January 1, 2022, is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Minority Institution, UTA will conduct this research through its Office of Research Administration at the Arlington, Texas campus. No...
- This $1,145,352.11 federal grant award was provided by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), a Hispanic-Serving and Minority Institution. The grant supports research on interhemispheric asymmetries in the geospace system, which encompasses differences in ionospheric potential patterns, thermospheric densities, precipitation, and other phenomena. UTA, as the prime grantee, leverages its expertise in...
- The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) was awarded a $149,141.17 grant on February 9, 2023, for research titled "Multiscale Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Earth's Magnetosheath." This civilian research grant, administered through a Shared Services Center, supports scientific investigation into magnetic reconnection phenomena in Earth's magnetosheath—a critical area of space physics research with implications for understanding solar-wind interactions and space weather....
- This is a $652,409 grant award from the NASA Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) for a research project on geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) and their impact on critical infrastructure. The goal is to examine the various forcing terms driving multi-scale variations in geomagnetic disturbances through magnetosphere-ionosphere coupled simulations. This supports advances in numerical models for resolving these complex, multi-scale geomagnetic disturbances. The...
This $502,955.13 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to investigate the role of solar wind fluctuations in the transfer of energy and momentum between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The research aims to address three key science goals: 1) determining if solar wind fluctuations enhance the transfer of energy from the solar wind to the Earth's geospace, 2) understanding how solar wind fluctuations affect the merging and viscous interactions with the solar wind, and 3) exploring the features of ionospheric dissipation of energy related to the magnitude of solar wind fluctuations. This grant is part of NASA's Heliophysics Science program and is not associated with a set-aside designation. The research will be conducted by UTA's Office of Research Administration Division, which has extensive experience executing federal grants and contracts across various scientific and technical disciplines.
