- This is a $524,856.84 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Dartmouth College to support research on the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in precipitating relativistic electrons from the Earth's radiation belts. The goal is to expand understanding of radiation belt particle dynamics and quantify the effectiveness of EMIC waves in causing electron precipitation over a broad energy range. This work addresses one of the high-level...
- 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 $427,518.77 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research into the dynamics of the Earth's outer radiation belt during geomagnetic storms. The research will utilize data from NASA's Van Allen Probes, THEMIS, MMS, and Aerocube6 missions to characterize the spatial, temporal, and amplitude distributions of ultra-low frequency (ULF) and very-low frequency (VLF) waves that control electron loss and...
- This federal contract award with ID NNX16AF76G was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the generation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The $433,267.27 grant aims to determine the conditions under which EMIC waves form and quantify their effects on the loss of relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt and ring current ions. The research...
- This is a $568,771.12 federal research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). The grant supports a 3-year study on nonlinear wave-particle interactions in the Earth's outer radiation belt, with a focus on understanding the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves and whistler-mode chorus waves in causing energetic electron scattering and precipitation. The research aims to develop improved models for simulating the kinetic evolution...
- This is a $681,457 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of Colorado, performing work at its Boulder, Colorado campus. The grant will fund research to investigate the characteristics and generation mechanisms of relativistic electron microbursts, a type of rapid precipitation of high-energy electrons from the Earth's radiation belts. The research will combine data analysis from satellites, modeling of chorus wave-particle interactions, and test...
- 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...
- This is a $331,405.76 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere.
