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 $237,873 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA) - a next-generation system of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument, adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays. These arrays are designed to fill gaps in existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations in...
This $315,225 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2026. The grant supports a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and SRI to develop a new data infrastructure for sharing and archiving heterogeneously-derived data products from the Swarm-Over-Poker...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $294,330 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will fund collaborative research on short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging of auroral and airglow emissions. The key objectives are to: Investigate the role of Alfvén waves in generating auroral arcs and forms, as compared to monoenergetic particle influx. Measure metastable helium (He) emissions at 1083 nm to study exospheric density variability over...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award for $433,534 to Dartmouth College supports a collaborative research effort to develop new data infrastructure and products for studying the auroral environment. The research team, which includes partners from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and SRI, will create combined data products from a heterogeneous, distributed dataset collected during the "Swarm Over Poker 2023" auroral...
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 (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) seeks to understand the physical processes controlling electron energetics in the polar cap ionosphere. The $152,033 award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, will fund a research program to combine theory, numerical modeling, and analysis of radar and satellite observations to address key science questions about electron temperatures and their relationship to ion upflows in the polar...
