The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $515,885 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant will support a 3-year research project to investigate the inward transport and energy-dependent penetration of energetic electrons (10s of keV to multi-MeV) from the Earth's outer radiation belt into the inner radiation belt. The research...
This $292,793 Project Grant award, issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support fundamental research to improve understanding of the dynamics of radiation belt electrons and their impact on the near-Earth space environment. The primary objective is to study the interaction of lightning-generated whistlers with radiation belt electrons using event-specific diffusion coefficients. This will enable more accurate modeling of pitch angle...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $682,313 Project Grant to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine whether the solar wind electron strahl acts as a seed population for the Earth's electron radiation belt, and to identify the controlling factors for this process. The project aims to...
