The National Science Foundation awarded a $164,949 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support an Ideas Lab on Geomagnetically Induced Currents. The Ideas Lab will bring together approximately thirty-six scientists from various scientific and engineering backgrounds in Golden, Colorado from mid to late September 2022. It aims to develop innovative approaches to strengthen research and technology development efforts to better predict and mitigate the effects of geomagnetically induced currents, which can impact power grids, pipelines, and other technological systems involving long conducting wires. Specifically, the Ideas Lab will support interdisciplinary teams formulating new techniques and technologies in this area and involve training a cross-disciplinary workforce with expertise spanning the coupled sun-earth system, earth sciences, and power grid engineering. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research will host the event with facilitation provided by KnowInnovation.
