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) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $662,579 to Boston University to conduct a comparative assessment of energetic electron precipitation driven by whistler-mode waves at Earth and Jupiter. The key objectives of this 4-year project are to: (1) characterize whistler-mode wave properties, (2) evaluate energetic electron precipitation, (3) examine nonlinear effects on electron precipitation, and (4) quantify the effects...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) grant, awarded $324,607 to the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado to investigate potential methods for identifying and studying geomagnetic substorms in the Southern Hemisphere. The two-year project aims to address the lack of ground-based observational data and indices for the Southern polar regions, which are known to have interhemispheric asymmetries compared to the Northern hemisphere. The research will...
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...
This $404,682 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to investigate a newly reported type of electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH) wave in the Earth's magnetosphere. The primary objectives are to: 1) determine the preferred conditions for dayside ECH wave excitation, 2) assess whether there is a secondary dayside source region for ECH waves, and 3) examine how these dayside ECH...
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...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the sources of day-to-day variability in the near-Earth space environment during geomagnetically quiet periods. The $152,260 award, which runs from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028, will leverage the Whole Atmosphere Model-Ionosphere Plasmasphere Electrodynamics (WAM-IPE) model along with diverse ground- and space-based observations to quantify the contributions of different...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $210,153 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to solar eclipses across the United States. The research project aims to quantify the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a crucial region of the atmosphere that affects radio communication and navigation, and to identify the key factors driving these ionospheric...
