The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $127,684 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Florida to conduct a collaborative research project investigating the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on the Southern Hemisphere. The research team, consisting of scientists from the University of California San Diego, University of Florida, and Liverpool University, will employ innovative...
This $182,281 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the Magnetics Information Consortium (MAGIC), a web-based research facility that allows free access to archive, search, visualize, manipulate, download, and reuse data addressing geoscience challenges. Over the next three years, MAGIC will focus on enhancing data access, transparency, and documentation to improve reproducibility and standardization for researcher and student users....
This Project Grant award of $278,947.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project investigating historical changes to the Earth's geomagnetic field. The project aims to study geologic archives of geomagnetic changes from 10,000 to 7,000 years ago, a period that may have been similar to recent geomagnetic field changes. The research team will synthesize new and existing reconstructions of geomagnetic direction and...
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 of $192,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on the role of interplanetary shock parameters in their propagation through the Earth's magnetosphere and their impact on particle populations. The research aims to provide a more detailed understanding of how interplanetary shocks, a common space weather event, can impact the Earth's magnetic environment. The project will analyze a large database of...
This $594,429 federal Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland. The grant will fund research to investigate the structure, stability, and reconnection regimes of "overstretched" current sheets in the Earth's magnetotail in order to understand the mechanism of reconnection onset and its global implications for modeling and predicting space weather phenomena. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $197,841 to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography is part of the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The award funds a collaborative research project to study the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on addressing significant gaps in data from the...
This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $299,887 to the University of California, Berkeley from November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2025. The project aims to develop new reduced complexity models for simulating convection and magnetic field generation in the Earth's core. This use-inspired research will enable more reliable forecasting of changes in the Earth's magnetic field, which is critical for planning space missions due to the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. The $415,309 award to The Johns Hopkins University aims to observationally determine whether the physical properties of symmetric ULF waves and the associated particle environment are consistent with drift compressional instability. The 3-year project (8/1/2024 - 7/31/2027) will utilize...
