This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $147,756 over 5 years to SRI International, a non-profit research institute, to operate and maintain the Mid-Latitude All-sky-imaging Network for Geophysical Observation (MANGO). The MANGO network, established through a prior NSF program, consists of 15 all-sky imagers and 4 Fabry-Perot interferometers across the continental United States. This award will enable SRI International...
This $197,498 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will establish a distributed network of meteor radars and optical instruments in the mid-latitudes of South America. The goal is to provide continuous measurements of upper atmospheric winds and nighttime wave perturbations in the mesosphere and thermosphere. This network will enable multi-point observations to resolve detailed 4-dimensional structures of small-scale waves, which are...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $2,530,479 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to support frontier research at the Millstone Hill Geospace Facility. The project aims to: (1) deepen understanding of subauroral plasma and neutral dynamics, including impacts on mid-latitude and low-latitude ionosphere; (2) investigate links between the lower and upper atmosphere during anomalous stratospheric polar vortex...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $237,873 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant will fund the development of the next generation of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays, named the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA). This project seeks to fill large gaps in the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to Clemson University, totaling $201,941, supports collaborative research to better understand the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms and improve knowledge of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The project aims to identify morphologically distinct auroral forms using advanced computer vision techniques, characterize their electrodynamic properties, and analyze their occurrence...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
This Project Grant award, totaling $196,652, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program. The award supports a collaborative research effort to study the near-Earth (geospace) environment and its interactions with the solar wind at U.S. Antarctic research stations located at South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The project will deploy and maintain a suite of geospace instrumentation, including magnetometers, receivers, riometers,...
