- This $237,873 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA) - a next-generation system of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument, adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays. These arrays are designed to fill gaps in existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,047,690 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for the "REU SITE: SOLAR AND SPACE PHYSICS WITH THE BOULDER SOLAR ALLIANCE" program. This 3-year program, beginning on September 1, 2025, will introduce undergraduate students to authentic research in solar and space physics through a one-week immersive "boot camp" followed by 10 weeks of mentored research projects. The program aims to provide students, particularly those with limited research access at their home institutions, opportunities to develop critical skills such as scientific communication, independent research, and proposal writing. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.
