Description
The Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Program (AGS) from the U.S. National Science Foundation funds research to advance knowledge of Earth’s atmosphere and the near-Earth space environment. Projects may address atmospheric processes such as physical, chemical, radiative, and dynamical factors influencing weather, climate, and air composition, as well as geospace science topics spanning the mesosphere through the exosphere and into the solar atmosphere. The program places special emphasis on understanding the drivers of space weather and their impacts on technology and infrastructure, supporting research that can lead to advances across atmospheric and geospace sciences.
