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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $244,218 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, to study the lower ionosphere during the 2024 solar eclipse in the eastern United States. This collaborative project between UC Denver and UC Berkeley will use very low frequency (VLF) and extremely low frequency (ELF) remote sensing techniques to observe the spatial and temporal...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $166,193 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to solar eclipses across the United States. The primary objectives are to: 1) quantify how solar eclipses impact the ionosphere's electron density and variations in the F-region height, and 2) identify the key factors driving these ionospheric responses, including reduced solar...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $210,153 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to upcoming solar eclipses in the United States. The research aims to deepen the understanding of chemical and dynamical processes in the ionosphere-thermosphere system by leveraging coordinated observations from multiple instruments, including the SuperDARN,...
This $174,257 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to measure daily ionospheric variability and solar eclipse impacts using amateur radio HF Doppler shift receivers. Led by the University of Scranton, the project will deploy thirty GRAPE receivers across North America to study ionospheric responses to dawn, dusk, and solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024. The receivers will generate observations to answer scientific...
This $177,334 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support imaging and spectral observations of the 2023 and 2024 total solar eclipses conducted by President and Trustees of Williams College. Key deliverables include high-resolution Fabry-Perot and Lyot/Halle filter observations of the solar corona, high-frequency (>1 Hz) power spectra measurements of coronal loops to study coronal heating...
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 $296,281 Project Grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001) supports the "SOLAR ECLIPSE QSO PARTY 2.0: AMATEUR RADIO CITIZEN SCIENCE TO STUDY THE IONOSPHERIC EFFECTS OF THE 2024 AMERICAN TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE" led by the University of Scranton.
The primary objectives are to study the ionospheric effects of solar eclipses through amateur radio communications. The University of Scranton is the prime...
This $158,689 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado to conduct research on the day-to-day variability of the ionosphere and thermosphere over the American continent.
The key objectives are to characterize the correlation between quiet-time ionosphere and thermosphere composition changes, and to investigate the underlying mechanisms driving this variability. The research approach involves...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $237,873 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, titled "Collaborative Research: DASI Track 1--Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA)," aims to develop the next generation of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument, adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays to fill...
