This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), focuses on studying the evolution of plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and their impacts. The $182,965 award supports research to characterize the drivers, structure, and effects of these waves using multi-mission data from the Heliophysics System Observatory. The work aims to expand understanding of how magnetospheric waves transfer energy across particle populations and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences Program provides $105,935 in funding from January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027 to the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. The primary objectives are to conduct theoretical analysis and computer simulations of solar observations to test the hypothesis that heating in the Sun's atmosphere is caused by small-scale plasma processes. The project will use data from NASA's Interface Region Imaging...
This $517,046 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on plasma turbulence and heating in the solar chromosphere. The investigators will carry out theoretical analysis and computer simulations to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, cause heating in the coolest parts of the Sun's atmosphere. The research team will use observational data...
This $688,588 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Boston University to advance understanding of solar wind dynamics and their effects. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the funding will be used to investigate how positive and negative changes in solar wind dynamic pressure impact waves, energetic particles, and precipitation in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Researchers will analyze satellite data from missions such as THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, MMS,...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), enables continued experimental exploration of eruptive plasma behavior in a laboratory setting. The $597,571 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, supports research aimed at advancing the understanding of multi-scale phenomena in real plasmas. The project will focus on studying the observed X-ray generation in a magnetized,...
This three-year, $598,184 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into understanding solar wind structures and turbulence and their interaction through the heliosphere. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will analyze data from remote sensing observations and in-situ satellite measurements to address how coronal properties shape solar wind observations and how structures like coronal hole streams and current sheets modify turbulence properties during...
This $468,460 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin on May 1, 2024. The award will support the "SHINE: Origin and Evolution of Compressible Fluctuations in the Solar Wind and their Role in Solar Wind Heating and Acceleration" research project, which aims to investigate the impact of compressible fluctuations and wave-particle interactions on solar wind dynamics and thermal properties. Key...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $206,422 to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to investigate transverse wave fluctuations in the solar corona using the advanced instrumentation of the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). The project aims to characterize the impulsive and wave heating mechanisms in the solar corona, which is...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $196,137 to the University of California, Berkeley to characterize the physics of the interactions that drive the outflow of energized ions from the high-latitude ionosphere into near-Earth space. The research will use observations from the FAST spacecraft to resolve the spatio-temporal characteristics of the wavefields and the energization of the outflowing ion populations. The goal is...
This $212,120 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research into the impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather conditions. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with Clemson University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025, the research will advance...
