The Trustees of Dartmouth College were awarded a two-year, $258,525 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs to conduct the research experiment "EAGER: AN ON-ICE GNSS RESEARCH EXPERIMENTAL NETWORK FOR GREENLAND" from March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2023. The NSF's Polar Programs aim to strengthen fundamental understanding of the polar regions through support of basic research best conducted in or unique to the polar environments according to the...
This $199,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support studies of interrelated geospace phenomena observed at Southern high latitudes through a coordinated and collaborative effort. The funding will be used to deploy and maintain a suite of geospace instrumentation at the U.S. Antarctic stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. This includes ground-based magnetometers, ELF and VLF receivers, imaging and broadband riometers,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award for $433,534 to Dartmouth College supports a collaborative research effort to develop new data infrastructure and products for studying the auroral environment. The research team, which includes partners from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and SRI, will create combined data products from a heterogeneous, distributed dataset collected during the "Swarm Over Poker 2023" auroral...
This Project Grant award, totaling $196,652, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program. The award supports a collaborative research effort to study the near-Earth (geospace) environment and its interactions with the solar wind at U.S. Antarctic research stations located at South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The project will deploy and maintain a suite of geospace instrumentation, including magnetometers, receivers, riometers,...
This National Science Foundation Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) Project Grant award totaling $753,858 supports a collaborative research effort to study the near-Earth (geospace) environment and its interactions with the solar wind. The project will deploy and maintain a suite of geospace instrumentation, including magnetometers, receivers, and optical systems, at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The collected data will enable studies of the magnetospheric...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Dartmouth College a $444,932 two-year Project Grant under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078). The grant will support collaborative research entitled "Collaborative Research: Spatiotemporal Variability of Solar Radiation Partitioning in the Sea Ice System: Improving Climate Models Using Observations from the MOSAIC Field Campaign." Through December 2024, Dartmouth researchers will analyze observations...
The Trustees of Dartmouth College were awarded a $966,896 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) for the period of September 15, 2021 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds a collaborative research effort titled "A New Approach to Firn Evolution Using the Taylor Dome Natural Laboratory." The project will strengthen understanding of polar regions by expanding knowledge of firn, the porous...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $457,920 Project Grant to the Space Science Institute under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024. The grant will support the development of spatial sonification and mixed reality tools to intuitively explore conjugate magnetometer datasets from the Arctic and Antarctic. Researchers will analyze geomagnetic pulsations related to magnetosheath jet events and their...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $627,264 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), operating as Stony Brook University, to conduct a comprehensive seismic investigation of the Earth's crust and upper mantle beneath the South Pole in East Antarctica. The 5-year project, titled "CAREER: A Comprehensive Seismic Investigation to the Crust and Uppermost Mantle Beneath the South Pole, East...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant, awarded $324,607 to the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado to investigate potential methods for identifying and studying geomagnetic substorms in the Southern Hemisphere. The two-year project aims to address the lack of ground-based observational data and indices for the Southern polar regions, which are known to have interhemispheric asymmetries compared to the Northern hemisphere. The research will...
