The Planetary Science Institute was awarded a $279,536 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) and will fund collaborative research examining mass transport in Jupiter's magnetosphere and whether it is driven by internal or external processes. Over a three-year period from September 2021 through August 2024, the Institute will analyze data from previous spacecraft missions to better understand the dynamics and origins of plasma mass transport in Jupiter's magnetosphere. The research aims to increase understanding of fundamental plasma physics processes relevant to other astrophysical environments.
