This $588,121 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware. The award supports research focused on the "Evolution of the Turbulent Solar Wind Across the Terrestrial Bow Shock - The Study of Plasma Turbulence at the Boundary of Space Environments." Key objectives include extending the understanding of the inertial range of turbulence, measuring energy dissipation rates, and characterizing...
This Project Grant award of $192,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on the role of interplanetary shock parameters in their propagation through the Earth's magnetosphere and their impact on particle populations. The research aims to provide a more detailed understanding of how interplanetary shocks, a common space weather event, can impact the Earth's magnetic environment. The project will analyze a large database of...
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 three-year, $598,184 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into understanding solar wind structures and turbulence and their interaction through the heliosphere. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will analyze data from remote sensing observations and in-situ satellite measurements to address how coronal properties shape solar wind observations and how structures like coronal hole streams and current sheets modify turbulence properties during...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $307,976.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The award will fund collaborative research to provide a more detailed understanding of how interplanetary shocks, a common space weather event, can impact the Earth's magnetic environment and affect technological systems, astronauts, and other critical infrastructure. The research will leverage...
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) received a $156,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research investigating mini-filament eruptions and their relationship with small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind. This award, made under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will support case studies and statistical analyses of small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar...
This $105,935 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to study plasma turbulence and heating in the solar chromosphere. The research team will conduct theoretical analysis, computer simulations, and observations using data from NASA satellites to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, contribute to heating in the Sun's...
This Project Grant award of $100,000.00 from the NASA Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) supports research to characterize turbulence within corotating interaction regions and its effects on energetic particle acceleration. The award was granted to the University of Alabama in Huntsville on September 1, 2024, with a performance period ending on August 31, 2027. The research aims to improve understanding of space weather phenomena through multipoint observations. This grant is...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $229,577 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under the Geosciences grant program (CFDA 47.050) on August 15, 2023. This collaborative research project aims to build a predictive model of the foreshock backstreaming ions - particles reflected off the Earth's bow shock - and integrate it into space weather prediction models. The study will analyze satellite measurements and numerical simulations to determine how the...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research on microscale plasma processes in shock and turbulent environments. The $341,464 award to Columbia University, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will focus on two key areas: 1) particle heating and acceleration in shocks, and 2) thermodynamics and transport driven by large-scale turbulence. The research aims to develop...
