The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $372,159 to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on understanding the relationship between localized perturbations in the Earth's magnetic field and associated magnetospheric and ionospheric phenomena. The research aims to improve the ability to predict geomagnetically induced currents that can impact power grids and other critical infrastructure. The three-year project will utilize machine learning techniques to analyze spatial characteristics of magnetic field changes and correlate them with satellite data to determine the underlying geospace phenomena. The project will involve the training of two graduate students and support the career development of a woman principal investigator. No subawards are planned under this award.
