This $303,253 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Montana State University aims to advance the understanding of solar flare heating mechanisms. The research team will conduct high-cadence, high-resolution observations of solar flares using the Goode Solar Telescope and upcoming X-ray instruments to study the temporal, spatial, and magnetic structures of the fundamental energy release processes, known as "elementary bursts."...
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $599,498 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to establish an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) site in solar physics. The 3-year program will pair 8 undergraduate students per summer with SAO researchers to work on novel data analysis, numerical modeling, and instrumentation projects related to space weather and solar physics. The program aims to foster...
This $334,484 federal Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) supports research on "SUPRATHERMAL PROPERTY SCALING AND ACCELERATION PROCESSES FROM THE NEAR SUN ENVIRONMENT TO 1AU". The prime awardee, Montana State University, will conduct this research project from May 2024 through May 2027. Montana State University has a strong track record of delivering high-quality research and services...
This $222,464 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to characterize energy release and heating during solar flares. The research team at Montana State University will combine numerical modeling with analysis of high-resolution observations to advance the understanding of the physical mechanisms that heat the solar atmosphere during flares. The project will leverage multiple...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $296,665 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Bates College, a private liberal arts college in Maine, to build capacity in solar-terrestrial physics research and education. The project will create a new tenure-track faculty position focused on solar physics, who will develop a research program in solar magnetism, integrate solar physics topics into undergraduate courses, and host outreach events and a geospace science...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $299,812 Project Grant under the Geosciences program to the University of Delaware. The funding will support creating a new tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy to conduct research and teaching in space physics, solar physics, and space weather. The new hire will engage in research on topics such as cosmic rays, solar energetic particles, plasma physics, and data analysis, as well as develop new...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, totaling $357,172, supports research into small-scale ejections in the sun's photosphere through chromosphere and corona from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The award is being administered by the New Jersey Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic atmospheric and ocean sciences...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $144,535 to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on coronal magnetic structure and solar flares/coronal mass ejections.
