This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research to develop and maintain geospace instrumentation at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The $199,162 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable studies of interrelated geospace phenomena observed at southern high latitudes. The project will integrate a suite of ground-based instruments,...
This $753,858 federal project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) will support collaborative research at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The grant aims to enhance understanding of the Earth's geospace environment and its interactions with the solar wind through simultaneous observations and integrated instrumentation deployed at these locations. Key activities include studying magnetospheric and ionospheric...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support frontier space physics research at the Millstone Hill Geospace Facility, a crucial observatory for studying the near-Earth space environment. The $2,530,479 award, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2030, will enable the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research in three key areas: (1) understanding subauroral plasma and neutral dynamics, including...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded a $457,920 Project Grant to the Space Science Institute under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024. The grant will support the development of spatial sonification and mixed reality tools to intuitively explore conjugate magnetometer datasets from the Arctic and Antarctic. Researchers will analyze geomagnetic pulsations related to magnetosheath jet events and their...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs awarded a $627,264 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), operating as Stony Brook University, to conduct a comprehensive seismic investigation of the Earth's crust and upper mantle beneath the South Pole in East Antarctica. The 5-year project, titled "CAREER: A Comprehensive Seismic Investigation to the Crust and Uppermost Mantle Beneath the South Pole, East...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant, awarded $324,607 to the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado to investigate potential methods for identifying and studying geomagnetic substorms in the Southern Hemisphere. The two-year project aims to address the lack of ground-based observational data and indices for the Southern polar regions, which are known to have interhemispheric asymmetries compared to the Northern hemisphere. The research will...
The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Dartmouth College a $231,383 Project Grant to conduct conjugate studies of low-, medium-, and high-frequency auroral radio emissions from the South Pole station. The grant will support simultaneous wave measurements at South Pole and from satellites carrying high-resolution receivers to study the relationship between escaping auroral kilometric radiation observed by satellites and leaked auroral kilometric radiation-like...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs provides $152,618 to support collaborative research on iron and sodium lidar investigations of geospace-atmosphere temperature, composition, chemistry, and dynamics at McMurdo, Antarctica. The award period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026. The research is conducted under the NSF's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program, which aims to strengthen understanding of polar regions...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $407,336 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support data-driven modeling to study the day-to-day and longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet, a critical electrodynamic feature of the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere. Key...
This $237,873 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA) - a next-generation system of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument, adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays. These arrays are designed to fill gaps in existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations in...
