The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $294,241 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEM--DETERMINING THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF NONLINEAR WAVE-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS IN THE RADIATION BELTS," aims to study the effects of large-amplitude waves on the Earth's radiation belts using theory, modeling, and data analysis. The research...
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...
The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $432,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026 to quantify the contribution of off-equatorial ultra-low frequency waves on radial diffusion in Earth's radiation belts. Specifically, the University will use satellite data from THEMIS, Van Allen Probes,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant awarded to Auburn University totals $149,131 and runs from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2029. The grant focuses on understanding the dynamics of energetic electron "fast, deep injections" into the Earth's inner radiation belt, which can impact spacecraft operations. Key objectives include: 1) investigating the characteristics of 100s of keV electron injections and their relation to solar wind/geomagnetic...
This Project Grant award, valued at $260,221.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The purpose of the award is to study the global impact of nonlinear wave-particle interactions in the Earth's radiation belts. The research will use theory, modeling, and data analysis to determine if these nonlinear effects can lead to macro-scale changes in the radiation belts. The project will promote the development of two early-career...
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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $250,059 supports research at the University of California, Los Angeles from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2024.
