Project Grant 80NSSC22K1735

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $367,381 to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on space weather in young stellar systems using the Owens Valley Radio Observatory - Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA). The research team, led by Caltech, will observe approximately 2,000 young stellar systems less than one billion years old with...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $399,362 Project Grant to the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) to explore the physics of cloud formation and dynamics in the atmospheres of giant planets and brown dwarfs. The three-year research program will simulate cloudy atmospheric conditions on the four solar system giant planets as well as exoplanets and brown dwarfs, in order to improve understanding of temperature, chemical mixing, and patchiness...

This $212,120 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research into the impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather conditions. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with Clemson University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025, the research will advance...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...

This three-year, $289,049 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research exploring the response of the magnetosphere to terrestrial weather. Specifically, the awardee Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates LLC (dba Orion Space Solutions) will investigate the extent to which sudden stratospheric warmings can impact the spatial and temporal variability of the upper ionosphere and magnetosphere using the Multiscale...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $150,674 supports research into understanding variations in solar magnetic activity and their influence on space weather and climate. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support an early career researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder from February 2023 through January 2026. The research will address questions related to grand solar minima periods of low activity, how solar behavior changes during...

This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $446,497 to Rice University to conduct collaborative research on space weather in young stellar systems using the Owens Valley Radio Observatory - Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA). The research team will make radio observations of approximately 2,000 young stellar systems less than one billion years old using the...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $182,730.00 to Predictive Science Incorporated to analyze data from five total solar eclipses between 2015 and 2024 and compare it to advanced magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The goal is to improve understanding of the Sun's corona, the hot outer layer of the solar atmosphere, including tracking changes over the solar cycle and refining models of the Sun's atmosphere. This research will...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $100,000 to fund research linking the atmospheric and bulk compositions of rocky exoplanets through meteorite outgassing analyses. The grant recipient, Dr. Myriam Telus of the University of California-Santa Cruz, will conduct experiments heating meteorites to high temperatures representative of planet formation, and measure the released gases...

This $688,588 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Boston University to advance understanding of solar wind dynamics and their effects. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the funding will be used to investigate how positive and negative changes in solar wind dynamic pressure impact waves, energetic particles, and precipitation in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Researchers will analyze satellite data from missions such as THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, MMS,...
