Description

The Geospace Cluster (GC) in the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) supports fundamental and solutions-oriented research, technology development, and education related to the Earth's near-space environment and the inner heliosphere and solar atmosphere. The GC advances knowledge of the Sun-Earth system, including coupling through dynamical, electrodynamical, and chemical processes, and supports research on societal impacts such as space weather and upper atmosphere climate change. Research supported includes observational, theoretical, modeling, data analysis, and laboratory activities across topics like aeronomy, magnetospheric physics, solar-terrestrial physics, and space weather. The GC also participates in various targeted research programs and encourages proposals integrating education, outreach, and workforce development.
