- This $200,000 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The objective is to develop a "digital twin" system for a large-scale laboratory experiment that mimics conditions inside the Earth's core, in order to improve understanding of the geodynamo - the engine driving the Earth's magnetic field. Key products and services to be delivered include: Creation of a digital twin system...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $564,286 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support research investigating two hypotheses for the generation of Earth's ancient magnetic field. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will be used to conduct first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations to predict key material properties governing electron transport in silicate liquids and test whether a silicate dynamo hosted in...
- This two-year, $389,244 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of numerical modeling to investigate thermo-chemical convection in Earth's core and implications for geomagnetic field evolution. Funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the modeling aims to better understand how Earth's magnetic field has been maintained over billions of years through fluid motion in its liquid outer core. The Carnegie Institution for Science will receive funding to support a...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $269,979 to the Santa Fe Institute of Science to conduct collaborative research on developing robust digital twin models that can accurately predict the behavior of complex systems under unexpected conditions. The key objectives are to: Investigate the generalization abilities of digital twins by combining mathematical tools from nonlinear dynamics and machine...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $478,013 will fund research into numerical modeling of ultra-low-frequency waves and geomagnetically induced currents under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) through November 2025. The awardee, the Regents of the University of Minnesota, will develop computer models to better describe electric currents flowing in space and their effects on ground currents. Researchers will integrate dipole and spherical geometry codes to model wave...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $320,186 will fund collaborative research to refine the archeomagnetic record of southern Africa and develop numerical dynamo simulations exploring the effect of Earth's deep interior on magnetic fields. Specifically, the University of Colorado will conduct field studies and collect archeological artifacts in southern Africa with partners in South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe to refine the Iron Age archeomagnetic record. Laboratory analyses...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $249,976 supports research at Arizona State University from August 2022 through July 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research between experimental mineral physics and computational geodynamics to advance understanding of deep Earth processes through three key pieces. First, dynamic compression experiments will measure the spin state and structure of dense iron-bearing silicate melts. Second,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $127,684 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Florida to conduct a collaborative research project investigating the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on the Southern Hemisphere.

- This $412,283 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will investigate changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field over the early Holocene period, from 10,000 to 7,000 years ago. The research team, led by Oregon State University, will analyze sediment core samples from the Arctic region to reconstruct past variations in the geomagnetic field's direction and intensity. This effort aims to test the hypothesis that the recent decrease in the Earth's...
