This grant is for the purpose of supporting fundamental and applied research into the complex processes of energy generation, transport, and ultimate deposition from the Sun into the terrestrial environment. Key areas of investigation include understanding space weather impacts, solar internal dynamics such as helioseismology and the solar dynamo, and the solar activity cycle. It also covers magnetic flux emergence, solar flares, eruptive activity like coronal mass ejections, and the heating mechanisms of the solar wind. Furthermore, the grant supports studies on solar energetic particles, their interactions with cosmic rays, and critical boundary problems at the solar wind/magnetosphere interface, aiming to advance our comprehension of the Sun-Earth system.
