This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $662,579 to Boston University to conduct a comparative assessment of energetic electron precipitation driven by whistler-mode waves at Earth and Jupiter. The key objectives of this 4-year project are to: (1) characterize whistler-mode wave properties, (2) evaluate energetic electron precipitation, (3) examine nonlinear effects on electron precipitation, and (4) quantify the effects...
This $688,588 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Boston University to advance understanding of solar wind dynamics and their effects. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the funding will be used to investigate how positive and negative changes in solar wind dynamic pressure impact waves, energetic particles, and precipitation in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Researchers will analyze satellite data from missions such as THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, MMS,...
This $292,793 Project Grant award, issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support fundamental research to improve understanding of the dynamics of radiation belt electrons and their impact on the near-Earth space environment. The primary objective is to study the interaction of lightning-generated whistlers with radiation belt electrons using event-specific diffusion coefficients. This will enable more accurate modeling of pitch angle...
This $182,965 five-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on studying the evolution of plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and their impacts on space weather phenomena. The project aims to utilize multi-mission data to characterize the spatial and temporal properties of various wave modes and their role in driving particle acceleration and atmospheric effects. Additionally, the grant will support training future...
This $635,942 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project at Auburn University to quantify electron microburst precipitation associated with chorus waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The project aims to 1) identify the dominant mechanism for electron microburst formation, 2) characterize the temporal evolution of electron microbursts, and 3) determine the spatial characteristics and dependencies of electron...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025.
