This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
This $188,835 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather approximately 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The award will fund a collaborative research effort by The Johns Hopkins University to: 1) Characterize the gravity wave characteristics and sources of concentric traveling ionospheric disturbances over the continental U.S. and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $120,859 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University to characterize the effect of substorms on the equatorial electrojet (EEJ). The research will investigate how the EEJ, an electric current in the ionosphere, varies in response to substorms under different conditions of longitude, local time, season, and solar flux. The methodology leverages observational data and statistical analysis, utilizing...
This $594,429 federal Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland. The grant will fund research to investigate the structure, stability, and reconnection regimes of "overstretched" current sheets in the Earth's magnetotail in order to understand the mechanism of reconnection onset and its global implications for modeling and predicting space weather phenomena. The...
The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $315,070 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support the collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore City Ingenuity Project to broaden pathways to an undergraduate degree in geosciences from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. This collaboration aims to strengthen and enhance the national scientific...
