This $1,234,570 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop the next generation of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument ground-based geospace observation arrays named the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA). The project seeks to fill gaps in the existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations despite the remote and harsh...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078), will support collaborative research to develop and maintain geospace instrumentation at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The $199,162 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2029, will enable studies of interrelated geospace phenomena observed at southern high latitudes. The project will integrate a suite of ground-based instruments,...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $182,965 in funding to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030. The project, titled "The Evolution of Magnetospheric Plasma Waves in Response to Solar Driving," focuses on studying the complex plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and their role in driving particle acceleration, precipitation, and atmospheric impacts. The...
This $228,262 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) will investigate the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms to improve understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The research aims to discover new morphologies of auroral forms using advanced computer vision techniques, characterize their electrodynamic features, and analyze their occurrence patterns during geomagnetic activity. The...
This $187,713 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, enabling multi-point observations to resolve detailed four-dimensional structures of small-scale waves. This network will leverage...
This $238,190 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Colorado Denver and the University of California, Berkeley to study the lower ionosphere during the 2024 solar eclipse in the eastern United States. The researchers will make very low frequency radio observations before, during, and after the eclipse to better understand the spatial and temporal scales of ionization and...
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, with a total funding amount of $152,260, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) from March 1, 2025, to February 29, 2028. The primary objective of this project is to investigate the sources of day-to-day variability in the near-Earth space environment during geomagnetically quiet periods. The research aims to advance the scientific understanding of the connections...
