This $594,429 federal Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Maryland. The grant will fund research to investigate the structure, stability, and reconnection regimes of "overstretched" current sheets in the Earth's magnetotail in order to understand the mechanism of reconnection onset and its global implications for modeling and predicting space weather phenomena. The...
This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
This $192,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. The research will provide a more detailed understanding of how interplanetary (IP) shocks, a common space weather event, can impact the Earth's magnetic environment (magnetosphere). The study will investigate a large database of simultaneous satellite observations to determine how different regions of near-Earth space react to IP...
This $554,951 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports research by the University of Maryland, College Park to investigate energy conversion processes associated with non-equilibrium plasma velocity distribution functions during dayside magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause. The research aims to understand when, where, and how energy conversion...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the Earth's inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic storms. The $415,309 award to The Johns Hopkins University aims to observationally determine whether the physical properties of symmetric ULF waves and the associated particle environment are consistent with drift compressional instability. The 3-year project (8/1/2024 - 7/31/2027) will utilize...
This Project Grant award of $181,446 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to study Time Domain Structures (TDS) in the Earth's magnetosphere. The main objectives are to map the distribution of TDS and understand their relationship to larger space weather phenomena, which can impact communications, navigation, and power grid systems. The research team will generate statistical maps of TDS...
This $449,990 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at the University of Michigan to investigate the dynamics of fast plasma flows within the Earth's nightside magnetosphere and their effects on the upper atmosphere. The research aims to deepen understanding of the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling processes using a combination of simulation models and multi-instrument observational data. Key...
This $188,835 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support research to determine how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather approximately 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The award will fund a collaborative research effort by The Johns Hopkins University to: 1) Characterize the gravity wave characteristics and sources of concentric traveling ionospheric disturbances over the continental U.S. and...
This $637,638 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Dartmouth College to improve the understanding of the interconnection between magnetic reconnection and turbulence in plasma systems. The key objectives are to: 1) Identify electron-only reconnection in kinetic turbulence, 2) Examine the evolution of electron-only reconnection in Alfvenic turbulence, and 3)...
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...
