The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) was awarded a $534,210 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences. The grant supports research titled "Time Domain Structures Driven by Whistler and Kinetic Alfven Waves in a Laboratory Plasma" from July 15, 2021 to June 30, 2024.
Under this award, UCLA researchers will investigate time-dependent structures in plasma driven by whistler and kinetic Alfven waves. This work furthers understanding of fundamental plasma physics processes relevant to the Geosciences program of the National Science Foundation. The Geosciences program aims to expand knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The grant enables investigation of wave phenomena that can shape plasma dynamics within the Earth's magnetosphere.
