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 $688,588 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Boston University to advance understanding of solar wind dynamics and their effects. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the funding will be used to investigate how positive and negative changes in solar wind dynamic pressure impact waves, energetic particles, and precipitation in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Researchers will analyze satellite data from missions such as THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, MMS,...
This $590,898 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into modeling chorus wave generation using particle-in-cell simulations. Led by New Mexico Consortium, the project aims to study chorus waves—commonly observed plasma waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere—through large-scale first-principles simulations. The simulations will use realistic magnetic field topology and plasma parameters from observations to test existing theories of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $555,251 to Andrews University to conduct collaborative research on the propagation and dissipation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The project aims to address four key scientific questions about how EMIC waves reach the ground, how they are affected by geomagnetic activity, how magnetic field topology impacts wave propagation,...
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 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 $368,409 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project titled "CEDAR--Sources of Gravity Waves in the Thermosphere." The project aims to investigate the relative contributions of different lower atmospheric and upper atmospheric sources to the observed large-scale gravity waves in the thermosphere, and their impacts on tides, planetary waves, and atmospheric circulations. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $589,888 to the Space Science Institute (SSI) to conduct a series of laboratory experiments to better understand wave-wave interaction processes that may control imbalanced solar wind turbulence at ion scales. Specifically, the project will investigate the behavior of two interactions between co-propagating Alfvén waves: a novel interaction driven by Hall physics, and the dispersive...
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 Project Grant award, with a total of $152,260 in funding, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU). The overarching goal of this 3-year project (March 2025 to February 2028) is to investigate the sources of day-to-day variability in the near-Earth space environment during geomagnetically quiet periods, with the aim of improving the predictive accuracy of space weather forecasting models....
