- This $517,046 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on plasma turbulence and heating in the solar chromosphere. The investigators will carry out theoretical analysis and computer simulations to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, cause heating in the coolest parts of the Sun's atmosphere. The research team will use observational data...
- This $429,227 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past carbon-14 (Δ14C) spikes from tree rings. The goal is to better understand past solar energetic particle events, which pose risks to space-based infrastructure, by quantifying physiological sources of uncertainty in Δ14C measurements from tree rings. The project will use field and model-based experiments to...
- This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
