This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $508,504 provides funding from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to advance understanding of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun. Led by underrepresented groups in STEM, the award supports physics-based and statistical studies to quantify the structure and evolution of magnetic flux ropes from the solar photosphere to the inner heliosphere. Researchers will characterize CME flux ropes using...
This Project Grant award for $462,224 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research by The Catholic University of America (CUA) to quantify the local and global controls of solar wind-magnetosphere coupling. The project aims to: (1) determine how the Earth's magnetic boundary alters the effect of solar wind, and (2) analyze uncertainties and hidden correlations in solar wind data to improve understanding of its impacts on the Earth's magnetic...
This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded The Catholic University of America a $598,925 project grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026.
