- 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 $182,462 federal Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, under the Science Mission Directorate's (SMD) CFDA 43.001 Science program, supports Clemson University's research activities. The grant funds Clemson's execution of a balanced science program, enabling the university to serve as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives focused on scientific research of the moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. Clemson will also...
- This $314,692 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research between Rutgers University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, West Virginia University, and Montclair State University to develop machine learning tools and models for predicting geoeffective solar eruptions, geomagnetic indices, and thermospheric density fluctuations. Key products and services include synthesizing vector magnetograms from ground- and space-based solar...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,047,690 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) to support the "REU SITE: SOLAR AND SPACE PHYSICS WITH THE BOULDER SOLAR ALLIANCE" program. This 3-year program aims to introduce students to authentic research in solar and space physics through a 10-week summer experience. The program begins with a 1-week "boot camp" to teach students the fundamentals of solar...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $396,722 provides funding from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026 to Auburn University for research titled "Collaborative Research: GEM--Impact of Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure Enhancement on the Cusp and Polar Cap Ion Source." The award supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
FDSS TRACK 1: INTEGRATING RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN MAGNETOSPHERE-IONOSPHERE-ATMOSPHERE COUPLING AT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY -THE FACULTY DEVELOPMENT IN GEOSPACE SCIENCE (FDSS) OPPORTUNITY AIMS TO INTEGRATE GEOSPACE SCIENCE--TO INCLUDES SOLAR AND SPACE PHYSICS AND SPACE WEATHER RESEARCH--INTO NATURAL SCIENCES, ENGINEERING OR RELATED DEPARTMENTS AT U.S. INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND STIMULATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF UNDERGRADUATE OR GRADUATE PROGRAMS OR CURRICULA CAPABLE OF TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS IN GEOSPACE SCIENCE. CLEMSON UNIVERSITY WILL CREATE AN FDSS TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY. THE FOCUS FOR THE NEW FDSS HIRE IS ON THE INTEGRATION OF RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN MAGNETOSPHERE-IONOSPHERE-ATMOSPHERE COUPLING. THE SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES ARE TO OBTAIN A MORE COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSICAL PROCESSES THAT GOVERN THE PREVAILING SPACE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THE UPPERMOST REACHES OF EARTH?S ATMOSPHERE. BROADER IMPACTS INCLUDE EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS IN A FIELD OF INCREASING IMPORTANCE FOR A TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY. THROUGH NEW COURSES AND BY LEVERAGING EXISTING OUTREACH PROGRAMS, THE NEW HIRE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE UNIVERSITY?S ABILITY TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN SPACE WEATHER, PARTICULARLY WITH K-12 STUDENTS FROM UNDERSERVED AND UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS, AND STRENGTHEN FIRST-GENERATION UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN SPACE SCIENCES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
