This Project Grant award of $556,179 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by Northeastern University to unveil the hidden dynamics of the auroral ionosphere using AI-based sensor fusion. The project aims to better understand the complex and transient ionospheric structures at high latitudes that impact radio-frequency signals used for communication, radar, and GPS. The research will leverage advanced techniques like machine...
This $237,873 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA) - a next-generation system of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument, adaptive, ground-based geospace observation arrays. These arrays are designed to fill gaps in existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations in...
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 $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 during...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $994,610 provides funding from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 to study ion heating by electromagnetic ion cyclotron and magnetosonic waves in Earth's magnetosphere. The Trustees of Boston University will use the funding to advance understanding of ion dynamics through comprehensive satellite observations and numerical modeling. Specifically, the awardee will conduct a survey of ion heating events using Van Allen Probes data to...
This $228,262 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) will investigate the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms to improve understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The research aims to discover new morphologies of auroral forms using advanced computer vision techniques, characterize their electrodynamic features, and analyze their occurrence patterns during geomagnetic activity. The...
This $688,588 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Boston University to advance understanding of solar wind dynamics and their effects. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the funding will be used to investigate how positive and negative changes in solar wind dynamic pressure impact waves, energetic particles, and precipitation in Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. Researchers will analyze satellite data from missions such as THEMIS, Van Allen Probes, MMS,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $210,153 to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to conduct collaborative research on the ionospheric density response to solar eclipses across the United States. The research project aims to quantify the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a crucial region of the atmosphere that affects radio communication and navigation, and to identify the key factors driving these ionospheric...
