The award is being administered by the New Jersey Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic atmospheric and ocean sciences...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) grant award provides $593,864 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) from September 2024 to August 2027. The project will develop an AI-driven framework called SolarDM to generate high-resolution, high-cadence vector magnetograms of the solar chromosphere and photosphere. These AI-generated products will provide valuable data on the Sun's magnetic field to significantly advance the understanding and prediction...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $550,926 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology to develop deep learning tools and models for understanding solar flare initiations. Over a three-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, the awardee will train graduate students and high school interns while undertaking five interrelated tasks. These include creating...
- This $303,253 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Montana State University aims to advance the understanding of solar flare heating mechanisms. The research team will conduct high-cadence, high-resolution observations of solar flares using the Goode Solar Telescope and upcoming X-ray instruments to study the temporal, spatial, and magnetic structures of the fundamental energy release processes, known as "elementary bursts."...
- This three-year, $435,681 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into mini-filament eruptions and their relationship to small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind. The New Jersey Institute of Technology will investigate the kinematic, thermal, and magnetic properties of mini-filaments and any connections between their eruptions and detected small-scale flux ropes in the solar wind. Researchers will analyze high-resolution...
- This $517,046 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on plasma turbulence and heating in the solar chromosphere. The investigators will carry out theoretical analysis and computer simulations to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, cause heating in the coolest parts of the Sun's atmosphere. The research team will use observational data...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $594,076 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) supports a collaborative research project to advance the understanding of solar flare energy deposition into the solar chromosphere. The project will utilize a combination of high-spatial resolution imaging spectroscopy from the Big Bear Solar Observatory's 1.6m Goode Solar Telescope and state-of-the-art radiation hydrodynamic modeling to: 1) analyze the spatial and spectral characteristics of flare-induced changes in helium spectral lines, and 2) determine if the modeling accurately reproduces the observed helium line behavior, thereby inferring the physical conditions responsible. This three-year project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to address outstanding questions about the mechanisms of energy release and transport in solar flares, which are important drivers of space weather effects.
