The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded The Catholic University of America a $598,925 project grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. The grant will support research analyzing ion kinetic instabilities in the solar wind observed near the sun through hybrid modeling and machine learning techniques. Specifically, the university will analyze data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission on...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $508,504 provides funding from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to advance understanding of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun. Led by underrepresented groups in STEM, the award supports physics-based and statistical studies to quantify the structure and evolution of magnetic flux ropes from the solar photosphere to the inner heliosphere. Researchers will characterize CME flux ropes using...
This $348,127 National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to develop new physics-informed machine learning and stochastic modeling techniques for improving magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will lead this 3-year project, which aims to enhance the performance of global magnetosphere MHD models used for...
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 $518,072 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the causes and effects of storm-time decay of the terrestrial ring current. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the Catholic University of America will investigate ring current ion loss processes and their impacts on the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupled system using numerical simulations of actual storm events with the Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere model. The research aims to quantify...
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 $292,835 to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research on the physical processes driving the residual circulation in the thermosphere and how this circulation affects the compositional structure of the thermosphere during geomagnetically quiet times. The research will utilize a mesoscale-resolving whole atmosphere model to examine multi-scale interactions among...
