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 National Science Foundation project grant of $478,013 will fund research into numerical modeling of ultra-low-frequency waves and geomagnetically induced currents under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) through November 2025. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Minnesota, will develop computer models to better describe electric currents flowing in space and their effects on ground currents. Researchers will integrate dipole and spherical geometry codes to model wave...
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 $212,120 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research into the impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather conditions.
