The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $515,885 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant will support a 3-year research project to investigate the inward transport and energy-dependent penetration of energetic electrons (10s of keV to multi-MeV) from the Earth's outer radiation belt into the inner radiation belt. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $294,241 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEM--DETERMINING THE GLOBAL IMPACT OF NONLINEAR WAVE-PARTICLE INTERACTIONS IN THE RADIATION BELTS," aims to study the effects of large-amplitude waves on the Earth's radiation belts using theory, modeling, and data analysis. The research...
The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $432,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2026 to quantify the contribution of off-equatorial ultra-low frequency waves on radial diffusion in Earth's radiation belts. Specifically, the University will use satellite data from THEMIS, Van Allen Probes,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $682,313 Project Grant to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, funded through the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine whether the solar wind electron strahl acts as a seed population for the Earth's electron radiation belt, and to identify the controlling factors for this process. The project aims to...
This Project Grant award of $182,965 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The project, titled "The Evolution of Magnetospheric Plasma Waves in Response to Solar Driving," aims to utilize multi-mission data to characterize the drivers, structure, and effects of these waves, which can accelerate electrons and impact atmospheric chemistry. As part of the effort, the project will also...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant awarded to Auburn University totals $149,131 and runs from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2029. The grant focuses on understanding the dynamics of energetic electron "fast, deep injections" into the Earth's inner radiation belt, which can impact spacecraft operations. Key objectives include: 1) investigating the characteristics of 100s of keV electron injections and their relation to solar wind/geomagnetic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,432 to Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates LLC (doing business as Orion Space Solutions) to characterize whistler-mode wave properties in the plasmasphere-plasmatrough transition regions. The research aims to improve understanding of the combined effects of chorus and hiss waves on the Earth's radiation belt environment, which can impact spacecraft and aviation....
