begins with the initiation and evolution of powerful coronal
mass ejections from the Sun (left), leads to solar energetic
particle acceleration and transport through space (middle), and
ends up as chemical signatures in ice cores (right) is the focus
of the Sun-to-Ice project. Credit: Kristi Donahue, UNH Institute
for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space.  An interdisciplinary
team of scientists from UNH’s Institute for the Study of Earth,
Oceans, and Space (EOS) has been awarded a grant from the
National Science Foundation’s (NSF) new Frontiers in Earth-
System Dynamics (FESD) program. The five-year project, which
crosses the boundaries between space physics, atmospheric, and
ice core science, will investigate, model, and test the complex,
interlinked physical processes at the frontier of the dynamic
Sun-Earth system.  This chain of processes begins with the
initiation and evolution of the
