This $468,460 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin on May 1, 2024. The award will support the "SHINE: Origin and Evolution of Compressible Fluctuations in the Solar Wind and their Role in Solar Wind Heating and Acceleration" research project, which aims to investigate the impact of compressible fluctuations and wave-particle interactions on solar wind dynamics and thermal properties. Key...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $426,760 to the University of Maryland, College Park to support collaborative research on electron heat flux regulation in the solar wind. The research aims to address the compelling science question of what regulates the solar wind heat flux by studying the relative importance of competing physical processes, including whistler heat-flux...
This three-year, $598,184 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into understanding solar wind structures and turbulence and their interaction through the heliosphere. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will analyze data from remote sensing observations and in-situ satellite measurements to address how coronal properties shape solar wind observations and how structures like coronal hole streams and current sheets modify turbulence properties during...
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 $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 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $287k to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct collaborative research on regulating electron heat flux in the solar wind. The research aims to address the compelling science question of what regulates the solar wind's heat flux through electrons. It will use self-consistent quasilinear theory and kinetic theory of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $582,399 research project by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to investigate the origins of "active longitudes" on the Sun's surface and their connection to the solar dynamo and coronal mass ejections. The 3-year project will utilize 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations and 17 years of observational data from the National Solar Observatory's Global Oscillation Network...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,821 project grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to Regents Of The University Of Michigan to comprehensively investigate the magnetospheric response modes of Mercury's magnetosphere and compare them with those observed in Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to enhance understanding of solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes, including the roles of the interplanetary magnetic field and field-aligned current closure on...
This three-year, $435,681 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into mini-filament eruptions and their relationship to small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind. The New Jersey Institute of Technology will investigate the kinematic, thermal, and magnetic properties of mini-filaments and any connections between their eruptions and detected small-scale flux ropes in the solar wind. Researchers will analyze high-resolution...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research on solar plasma turbulence and heating processes. The funded project, awarded $105,935 on August 1, 2024, will carry out theoretical analysis and computer simulations to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, contribute to heating in the Sun's atmosphere. The research team will constrain...
