This Project Grant award, totaling $416,131, was issued by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund the development of an advanced, low-cost ionospheric scintillation and total electron content (TEC) monitor that leverages multiple global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) such as the U.S. Global Positioning System. The monitor will have capabilities relevant to geospace studies and...
This Project Grant award of $597,424 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) was provided to Trustees of Boston University to conduct collaborative research on "Unveiling Hidden Dynamics of the Auroral Ionosphere Using AI-Based Sensor Fusion." The project aims to improve understanding of the Earth's ionized outer atmosphere and its impact on critical radio-frequency signals used for communication, radar, and global navigation systems, especially...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $419,448 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on understanding the causes of geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) and their impact on critical infrastructure. The key objectives are to: Expand the application of the Spherical Elementary Current System (SECS) method to analyze GMDs observed by ground magnetometers in North America and Greenland, in order to estimate...
This Project Grant award of $400,000 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve the understanding and forecasting of space weather events, particularly geomagnetic storms, which can disrupt critical technological infrastructure such as power grids, satellite communications, and GPS systems. The research project, titled "EMBRACE-AGS-GROWTH: Modeling Space Weather as a Nonlinear Control System," employs innovative mathematical models and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $407,336 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The funding will support data-driven modeling to study the day-to-day and longitudinal variability of the equatorial electrojet, a critical electrodynamic feature of the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere. Key...
This Project Grant award of $256,279, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to characterize quiet-time equatorial plasma bubbles and their impact on radio signal scintillation. The primary objectives are to investigate the driving mechanisms behind these plasma bubbles, their longitudinal, day-to-day, and seasonal variations, and the specific parameters controlling their dynamics and lifetime, as well as the resulting scintillation effects. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $108,120 to The Aerospace Corporation to characterize quiet-time equatorial plasma bubbles and their impact on radio signal scintillation. The research aims to improve understanding of the driving mechanisms behind these bubbles and their associated scintillation, which poses a significant space weather threat affecting various government and commercial applications relying on GNSS...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $372,159 to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on understanding the relationship between localized perturbations in the Earth's magnetic field and associated magnetospheric and ionospheric phenomena. The research aims to improve the ability to predict geomagnetically induced currents that can impact power grids and other critical infrastructure. The three-year...
