This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $299,887 to the University of California, Berkeley from November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2025. The project aims to develop new reduced complexity models for simulating convection and magnetic field generation in the Earth's core. This use-inspired research will enable more reliable forecasting of changes in the Earth's magnetic field, which is critical for planning space missions due to the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $564,286 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support research investigating two hypotheses for the generation of Earth's ancient magnetic field. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will be used to conduct first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations to predict key material properties governing electron transport in silicate liquids and test whether a silicate dynamo hosted in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $239,517 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring the potential role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Over the two-year period from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025, the grantee will collect new experimental measurements on the physical properties of iron-bearing silicate melts under various...
This two-year, $389,244 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of numerical modeling to investigate thermo-chemical convection in Earth's core and implications for geomagnetic field evolution. Funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the modeling aims to better understand how Earth's magnetic field has been maintained over billions of years through fluid motion in its liquid outer core. The Carnegie Institution for Science will receive funding to support a...
