This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $345,680 in funding to The University of Iowa to characterize whistler-mode wave properties in the plasmasphere-plasmatrough transition regions. The project aims to investigate cases where the plasmapause density gradient is not sharp, in order to determine the properties of chorus and hiss waves in these transition regions. This will improve understanding of radiation belt dynamics...
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...
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....
