Contact us: 509-375-3776

From our laboratories located along the Columbia River to our Marine Sciences Laboratory along the Pacific Ocean, PNNL scientists are developing new ways to restore, protect and sustain fresh water and marine resources. To address issues like contaminants, dams, salmon habitat and water management, researchers are applying technologies such as remote sensing, "smart materials," genetic analysis and integrated environmental modeling to help government and industry develop better, more integrated and publicly acceptable water and fish management strategies.
