Project Grant 2044782
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $138,036 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award period is from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024. Under this award, The Johns Hopkins University will characterize mesoscale thermospheric F-region winds associated with quasi-steady and transient nightside auroral arcs. Specifically, the University will statistically catalog mesoscale...
- This $188,835 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather approximately 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The award will fund a collaborative research effort by The Johns Hopkins University to: 1) Characterize the gravity wave characteristics and sources of concentric traveling ionospheric disturbances over the continental U.S. and...
- This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
- This Project Grant award for $192,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the propagation of interplanetary shocks through the Earth's magnetosphere and their impact on particle populations. The research aims to provide a more detailed understanding of how these common space weather events can affect Earth's magnetic environment and impact critical technological systems,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $166,193 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to solar eclipses across the United States. The primary objectives are to: 1) quantify how solar eclipses impact the ionosphere's electron density and variations in the F-region height, and 2) identify the key factors driving these ionospheric responses, including reduced solar...
- This $594,429 federal Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland. The grant will fund research to investigate the structure, stability, and reconnection regimes of "overstretched" current sheets in the Earth's magnetotail in order to understand the mechanism of reconnection onset and its global implications for modeling and predicting space weather phenomena. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $407,336 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support data-driven modeling to study the day-to-day and longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet, a critical electrodynamic feature of the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere. Key...
- This Project Grant award of $459,966 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the formation of thin current sheets in the Earth's magnetotail. The research aims to clarify how ion behaviors, particularly ion energy anisotropy, enable the development of these thin current sheet structures, which are critical precursors to magnetic reconnection events that can disrupt space weather and impact...
- 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...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $315,070 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support the collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore City Ingenuity Project to broaden pathways to an undergraduate degree in geosciences from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. This collaboration aims to strengthen and enhance the national scientific...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $224,797 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant supports collaborative research titled "Effects of Thermospheric Winds on Equatorial Spread-F" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of Earth's integrated system through basic atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences research. This particular award will further those goals by investigating the impact of thermospheric winds on equatorial spread plasma irregularities known as Equatorial Spread-F. Insights gained from the research could enhance understanding of ionospheric dynamics critical to radio wave propagation and space weather forecasting. The awardee, The Johns Hopkins University, will deliver the proposed research services over the three-year period using the awarded funds.
