Solar-Terrestrial Research

Description



Supports research on the processes by which energy in diverse forms is generated by the Sun, transported to the Earth, and ultimately deposited in the terrestrial environment. Major topics include space weather impacts, helioseismology, the solar dynamo, the solar activity cycle, magnetic flux emergence, solar flares and eruptive activity, coronal mass ejections, solar wind heating, solar energetic particles, interactions with cosmic rays, and solar wind/magnetosphere boundary problems.

The Solar Terrestrial Research Program participates in the interdisciplinary National Space Weather Program. Also, the SHINE (Solar, Heliospheric and INterplanetary Environment) research program is an important component of the Solar Terrestrial Research Program. The SHINE web site (not operated by the NSF) is available at www.shinegroup.org.

The Solar Terrestrial Research Program has strong ties to the Magnetospheric Physics Program (including the GEM program), the Aeronomy Program (including the CEDAR program) and to various Upper Atmosphere Facilities.



Target Dates and Deadlines

There are no deadlines or target dates for proposals sent in to any of the UARS base programs. However, we recommend that PIs try to send in proposals early in the fiscal year. Certain special programs within UARS do have deadlines for proposal submissions. See the table below for more information.
