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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant award of $370,438 to Auburn University supports a study of energetic electron acceleration and transport in magnetized plasmas in geospace and a laboratory setting. The key objectives are to investigate how energetic electrons get trapped, accelerated, and de-trapped in magnetized plasmas with magnetic islands and stochastic fields. The research aims to advance knowledge relevant to space weather...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $182,965 in funding to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The project, titled "The Evolution of Magnetospheric Plasma Waves in Response to Solar Driving," focuses on studying the complex plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and their role in driving particle acceleration, precipitation, and atmospheric impacts. The...
This $152,033 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Los Angeles aims to understand the physical mechanisms controlling electron energetics in the polar cap ionosphere.
