The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to Anderson University to improve the understanding and forecasting of geomagnetic storms and their impacts on critical technologies. The 4-year project, titled "EMBRACE-AGS-GROWTH: Modeling Space Weather as a Nonlinear Control System," aims to develop advanced mathematical models and apply control systems theory to characterize the dynamic behavior of the Earth's magnetosphere during extreme space weather events. The research focuses on enhancing predictive capabilities for geomagnetic storms, which can disrupt power grids, satellite communications, and GPS navigation. The project also emphasizes STEM education and research excellence by mentoring undergraduate and high school students, contributing to outreach, and developing a well-trained future workforce. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
