The University of Texas at Dallas was awarded a $216,586 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the combined effects of electromagnetic ion cyclotron and whistler mode waves on relativistic electron scattering in Earth's inner magnetosphere. The award period is from March 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024. As part of the grant, the university will use statistical observations from multiple NASA space missions to construct an empirical model of electromagnetic wave observations. They will then quantify electron scattering rates both analytically and numerically to better understand the acceleration and precipitation of relativistic electrons, important factors for predicting space weather effects. Early career researchers and students will be supported. Results from simulations validated against observed electron flux evolution will strengthen understanding of dynamics within Earth's inner radiation belts impacted by wave-particle interactions.
