Agreement Number:
23SUSTPART
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 24, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Investigating the complex dynamics of space plasma and its interactions with energetic particles is essential to fully understand our Earth’s magnetosphere-ionosphere system. This research project explores wave-particle interactions, electron precipitation, and their impacts on the ionosphere. By utilizing new ground-based observations, ionospheric modelling, employing various in-situ measurements and machine learning techniques, it will enhance the understanding of the magnetosphere-ionosphere system and pave the way for practical applications in space weather monitoring and prediction.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
