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....
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $407,336 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support data-driven modeling to study the day-to-day and longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet, a critical electrodynamic feature of the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere. Key...

The project aims to utilize multipoint measurements to study the drivers, structure, and effects of plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere, a critical region that protects the planet...
West Virginia University Research Corporation will use a $118,893 National Science Foundation project grant to quantify the contribution of off-equatorial ultra-low frequency waves on radial diffusion in Earth's radiation belts. As part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the three-year award aims to advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research on atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the awardee will derive magnetic and electric field wave...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $682,313 Project Grant to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine whether the solar wind electron strahl acts as a seed population for the Earth's electron radiation belt, and to identify the controlling factors for this process. The project aims to...
