This $348,127 National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to develop new physics-informed machine learning and stochastic modeling techniques for improving magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will lead this 3-year project, which aims to enhance the performance of global magnetosphere MHD models used for...
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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $294,241 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEM--DETERMINING THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF NONLINEAR WAVE-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS IN THE RADIATION BELTS," aims to study the effects of large-amplitude waves on the Earth's radiation belts using theory, modeling, and data analysis. The research...
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,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,173,008 awarded on October 1, 2022 to The University of Iowa will fund research quantifying radiation belt losses and their effects on the atmosphere through September 30, 2025. The award supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the award, the University of Iowa will quantify magnetospheric particle...
The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, was awarded a $518,204 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on April 1, 2021 to support research titled "RAPID RADIATION BELT SCATTERING IN ELECTROMAGNETIC TURBULENCE." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
This three-year, $223,760 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of California, Los Angeles to study energetic electron interactions with oblique whistler-mode chorus waves. Under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system, this award will quantitatively analyze wave-particle dynamics using numerical models. Researchers will compare simulations of oblique chorus wave...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $682,313 Project Grant to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine whether the solar wind electron strahl acts as a seed population for the Earth's electron radiation belt, and to identify the controlling factors for this process. The project aims to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $229,577 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences grant program (CFDA 47.050) on August 15, 2023. This collaborative research project aims to build a predictive model of the foreshock backstreaming ions - particles reflected off the Earth's bow shock - and integrate it into space weather prediction models. The study will analyze satellite measurements and numerical simulations to determine how the...
