This $199,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) supports a collaborative research effort to study the Earth's near-space (geospace) environment at the U.S. Antarctic research stations of South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The project will deploy and maintain a suite of geospace instruments, including magnetometers, receivers, and optical systems, to conduct synoptic studies of the magnetospheric open-closed boundary, ionospheric conditions,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $399,930 Project Grant to Computational Physics, Inc. under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the MAGSTAR magnetometer array. The MAGSTAR array provides real-time, high-quality measurements of the Earth's magnetic field to enable research on the impacts of solar activity on Earth systems, such as power grid and communication disruptions. This 24-month award will maintain the operation...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters...
This Project Grant award, valued at $333,016, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Andrews University (the awardee). The project aims to investigate the effects of ionospheric density irregularities on high-frequency (HF) radio wave propagation, which is critical for long-distance communications, international broadcasting, and emergency services. The research will address four key scientific questions: (A) how ground HF communications...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support the deployment and operations of the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSci) personal space weather station network. The $180,225 award will enable the installation of 30 standardized stations capable of observing various aspects of the geospace environment, including high-frequency Doppler shifts, amateur radio transmissions, very low-frequency emissions, and the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.15 million Project Grant to the University of Texas at Dallas under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a frequency-agile multistatic radio system for geospace imaging near the Jicamarca Radio Observatory in Peru from September 2022 to August 2027. The project aims to advance research in areas such as mesosphere and lower thermosphere dynamics, meteor science, and ionospheric irregularities through new multistatic radar experiments and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $359,936 to Computational Physics, Inc. to conduct a three-year observational program on thermospheric dynamics and temperature measurements from the auroral boundary to the magnetic equator. The project uses four Fabry-Perot interferometers located across the eastern seaboard of the Americas to collect high-precision, high-cadence (3 minutes or less) measurements of winds and...
This $174,257 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to measure daily ionospheric variability and solar eclipse impacts using amateur radio HF Doppler shift receivers. Led by the University of Scranton, the project will deploy thirty GRAPE receivers across North America to study ionospheric responses to dawn, dusk, and solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024. The receivers will generate observations to answer scientific...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program will support the deployment and maintenance of a suite of geospace instrumentation at the U.S. Antarctic stations South Pole, McMurdo, and Palmer. The $753,858 award, spanning from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund studies of interrelated geospace phenomena observed at the Southern high latitudes through a coordinated, collaborative effort. The instruments to...
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...
