- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,941 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Clemson University. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEM: THE ELECTRODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF MESO-SCALE AURORAL FORMS," aims to determine the characteristic features of meso-scale auroral forms and improve the understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The project will leverage computer vision techniques to systematically analyze all-sky images...
- This $228,262 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) will investigate the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms to improve understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The research aims to discover new morphologies of auroral forms using advanced computer vision techniques, characterize their electrodynamic features, and analyze their occurrence patterns during geomagnetic activity. The...
This $430,427 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will support a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and SRI International. The project, titled "CEDAR: Swarm Over Poker 2023 - An Auroral System-Science Campaign Exemplar of Archiving and Sharing Heterogeneously-Derived Data Products", will explore and develop a new data infrastructure through the system-science use of a swarm-over-Poker 2023 auroral observational campaign. The team will create new combined data products from this heterogeneous, distributed, multipoint data set and develop a data-sharing platform to enable studies addressing science questions about how the auroral environment controls arc-scale auroral activity and coupling. The project will also generate tools and data products for ionospheric model ingestion and machine learning studies, and design a new data infrastructure for using and sharing heterogeneously-derived data products. The funding will support graduate and undergraduate students and include a series of virtual community discussions to engage the broader geospace community.
