Propagation of electromagnetic waves in the inhomogeneous, magnetized plasma and interactions between these waves and energetic electrons inside the radiation belt are among the most important and interesting problems of modern geophysics.

PI Robert Thomas
The use of Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) is increasing in aviation. The purpose of this research is to investigate if the use of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) during flight courses has an impact on flight student performance. Flight students will be given a series of instrument approaches to fly with paper instrument charts and with an EFB.

This research collaboration with the National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office Tampa Bay aims to develop an ingredients-based methodology to help improve forecasts of first-strike cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in summer thunderstorms across Central Florida. Results will be used to construct a new forecast tool that will aid NWS forecasters in protecting the region’s life and property from these dangerous lightning events.

We are developing a methodology for studying the ways in which extreme environmental events and climatic anomalies can affect human and national security considerations.

PI Todd Smith
For this study, data will be collected from aircraft maintenance technicians and A&P mechanics from both private and public organizations and the military. A zero-inflated Poisson regression analysis will be completed to examine these factors. Researchers will identify risk and protective factors related to demographic variables, work exposures and organizational variables.

The Signal Processing and Applied Mathematics research group at the Nevada National Security Site, is seeking to collaborate with students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to develop advanced data analytics methods for characterizing seismic events in the southwest United States as near-field earthquakes, far-field earthquakes, or non-natural seismic events, using publicly available seismic data.

OneSky Flight supports the technology needs of five established private jet brands: Flexjet, Sentient Jet, SkyJet, PrivateFly, and Sirio. One key function required by these businesses is fleet optimization. The ultimate goal for the OneSky Optimization project is to create a new optimizer that works across all of the OneSky brands.

The objective of this grant is to examine General Aviation (GA) pilots’ capability to conduct Preflight Weather self-briefings as compared to using Flight Services to obtain weather briefings. Previous research indicates that GA pilots are increasingly conducting weather self-briefings during preflight (Duke et al., 2019). Additional research indicates that GA pilots have moderately low performance when interpreting aviation weather observation and forecast products (Blickensderfer et al., 2019). Research is needed to assess and understand the attitudes, knowledge, and performance of GA pilots conducting self-briefings to identify possible gaps and, in turn, provide recommendations for future system design and pilot training.
