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...
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 $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 $1,234,570 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop the next generation of small, low-power, autonomous, multi-instrument ground-based geospace observation arrays named the Autonomous Remote Geospace Observation and Research Array (AURORA). The project seeks to fill gaps in the existing ground-based instrument arrays in high-latitude and polar regions, enabling year-round observations despite the remote and harsh...
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 Project Grant award of $129,863 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study auroral physics and atmospheric dynamics using short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging. The key objectives are to: (1) investigate the role of Alfvén waves in generating auroral arcs and forms, and (2) measure metastable helium emissions to study exospheric density variability in the polar...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $201,941 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Clemson University. The grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEM: THE ELECTRODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF MESO-SCALE AURORAL FORMS," aims to determine the characteristic features of meso-scale auroral forms and improve the understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The project will leverage computer vision techniques to systematically analyze all-sky images...
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...
This $539,134 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a novel artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methodology to automatically discover the fundamental partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the Earth's radiation belt dynamics. The overarching goal is to enable significant breakthroughs in geoscience research by identifying the driving physical processes behind the dynamic evolution...
