The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $487,142 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as the University of Michigan) to develop a data-based model of multiple electron population characteristics in the near-Earth plasma sheet. The primary objective is to define the sources of these electron populations and their roles...
This $449,990 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at the University of Michigan to investigate the dynamics of fast plasma flows within the Earth's nightside magnetosphere and their effects on the upper atmosphere. The research aims to deepen understanding of the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling processes using a combination of simulation models and multi-instrument observational data. Key...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $160,277 will be used by the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the "Energy Exchange at the Magnetopause (EEXAM)". The project aims to extensively use in-situ observations to determine the statistics of the direct energy transfer through the Earth's magnetopause and construct an assessment of the importance of the boundary motion, which results in magnetospheric...
This $554,951 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports research by the University of Maryland, College Park to investigate energy conversion processes associated with non-equilibrium plasma velocity distribution functions during dayside magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause. The research aims to understand when, where, and how energy conversion...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $660,242 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to investigate variations in solar wind during the last solar cycle using advanced magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The project, titled "Unraveling Solar Wind Variations in the Last Solar Cycle Using Global Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Simulations," aims to understand how Alfvén wave turbulence-based models can consistently...
