The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $515,885 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant will support a 3-year research project to investigate the inward transport and energy-dependent penetration of energetic electrons (10s of keV to multi-MeV) from the Earth's outer radiation belt into the inner radiation belt. The research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $292,793 to the Regents of the University of Michigan will support research to improve the modeling and prediction of radiation belt electron dynamics, which can impact satellite operations and upper atmospheric processes. The primary objective is to study the interaction of lightning-generated whistlers with radiation belt electrons using stochastic parameterization methods from the weather and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant awarded to Auburn University totals $149,131 and runs from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2029. The grant focuses on understanding the dynamics of energetic electron "fast, deep injections" into the Earth's inner radiation belt, which can impact spacecraft operations. Key objectives include: 1) investigating the characteristics of 100s of keV electron injections and their relation to solar wind/geomagnetic...
The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $432,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026 to quantify the contribution of off-equatorial ultra-low frequency waves on radial diffusion in Earth's radiation belts. Specifically, the University will use satellite data from THEMIS, Van Allen Probes,...
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...
The Space Science Institute was awarded a $534,010 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct research titled "Collaborative Research: Energetic Particle Precipitation from the Magnetosphere and Effects on Ozone Dynamics in the Mesosphere and Stratosphere" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. Under this award, the Space Science Institute will collaborate with researchers to study how energetic particle...
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,...
This Project Grant award, with a funding amount of $294,241, was made by the National Science Foundation under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, conducting research on the global impact of nonlinear wave-particle interactions in the Earth's radiation belts. The research aims to quantify how large amplitude waves in the radiation belts can nonlinearly accelerate particles to high energies, potentially impacting the overall space environment....
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $287k to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct collaborative research on regulating electron heat flux in the solar wind. The research aims to address the compelling science question of what regulates the solar wind's heat flux through electrons. It will use self-consistent quasilinear theory and kinetic theory of...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
