This National Science Foundation project grant of $478,013 will fund research into numerical modeling of ultra-low-frequency waves and geomagnetically induced currents under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) through November 2025. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Minnesota, will develop computer models to better describe electric currents flowing in space and their effects on ground currents. Researchers will integrate dipole and spherical geometry codes to model wave...
This $348,127 National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to develop new physics-informed machine learning and stochastic modeling techniques for improving magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will lead this 3-year project, which aims to enhance the performance of global magnetosphere MHD models used for...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $372,159 to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on understanding the relationship between localized perturbations in the Earth's magnetic field and associated magnetospheric and ionospheric phenomena. The research aims to improve the ability to predict geomagnetically induced currents that can impact power grids and other critical infrastructure. The three-year...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $585,274 provides funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct experimental research on mini-magnetospheres. The key objectives are to: 1) develop a novel 3D Thomson scattering diagnostic to measure plasma parameters in mini-magnetosphere experiments; 2) measure the magnetic reconnection rate in dayside and magnetotail...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $164,949 Project Grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support an Ideas Lab on Geomagnetically Induced Currents.
