- 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 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 $1,720,748 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is for a research project to investigate the propagation of very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic waves through the ionosphere and their impact on the magnetosphere. The research aims to make direct measurements of the electrodynamic processes across the ionosphere that...

- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1448, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $559,420.39 grant is for a comprehensive investigation of the generation and transport of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave energy and the development of turbulence from the outer layers of the solar convection zone, through the solar atmosphere and...
- This is a $665,630.69 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to leverage Van Allen Probe electric drift measurements to study plasma transport and radial diffusion processes in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The research aims to enhance understanding of radiation belt dynamics and numerical modeling capabilities. The award is not associated with a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley, the prime recipient, is a public research university that has received over...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $680,256 grant award from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on September 1, 2021, to conduct research on electromagnetic energy and electron inputs into the dayside/cusp region of Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to quantify how these inputs depend on solar wind variability and their relationship to outflowing ionospheric ions including hydrogen, helium, and oxygen ions. Particular emphasis will be placed on investigating...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1325, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $515,511.55 grant is for research to provide a complete understanding of the magnetosphere sources of the diffuse aurora precipitations. This research falls under NASA's space physics program. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. UC...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC23K0518, was granted to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $464,693.00 grant is for a research project titled "USING PARTICLE MEASUREMENTS TO INFER INNER MAGNETOSPHERIC ELECTRIC FIELDS" and has a completion date of May 14, 2026. UC Berkeley, a leading public research university, has been awarded this contract by the Shared Services Center, a civilian...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $396,842.06 grant funds a research study on magnetospheric substorms, which are important space weather phenomena. The study aims to characterize the periodic 1-hour substorm behavior and contrast it with the more well-known 3-hour periodic behavior....
This federal contract award, valued at $604,914.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The award is for a research grant titled "Alfvénic Cross-Scale Coupling in the Inner Magnetosphere" and does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to investigate the processes that drive the transport of energy across scales in the Alfvénic field fluctuations observed in the inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. This work aligns with the goals of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey to understand the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. UC Berkeley will analyze field and plasma data from the Van Allen Probes and use a 3D reduced MHD simulation model to characterize the nature of the field structures, the properties of the energy cascade, and the operation of nonlinear couplings and intermittency.
