The research team will employ...
This $590,898 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into modeling chorus wave generation using particle-in-cell simulations. Led by New Mexico Consortium, the project aims to study chorus waves—commonly observed plasma waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere—through large-scale first-principles simulations. The simulations will use realistic magnetic field topology and plasma parameters from observations to test existing theories of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. The $415,309 award to The Johns Hopkins University aims to observationally determine whether the physical properties of symmetric ULF waves and the associated particle environment are consistent with drift compressional instability. The 3-year project (8/1/2024 - 7/31/2027) will utilize...
