Loyola University of Chicago was awarded a $505,230 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2024. The project, titled "The Microphysics of Lightning: Observing the Optical Emission from Downward Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes," will be performed in Chicago, Illinois. This award is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. The University will use the funding to observe optical emissions from downward terrestrial gamma-ray flashes to gain new insights into lightning microphysics.
