A new model uses machine learning to project electricity loads across the United States.

Under Secretary for Science and Innovation at the Department of Energy Geri Richmond visited PNNL.

Watershed hydrological responses are sensitive to the spatial and temporal resolution of the gridded meteorological forcing used in simulations.

Department of Energy Office of Electricity Assistant Secretary Gene Rodrigues makes his first visit to PNNL.

A new policy database containing energy equity-related actions could serve as a useful starting point for state policymakers and stakeholders who want to enact similar energy equity measures or adapt policies to their local circumstances.

DOE announced a new project, led by PNNL and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to expand wind energy transmission off the nation’s West Coast.

Future global warming-induced changes to watershed and coastal processes can significantly affect the magnitude of fluvial-coastal compound flooding.

Information encoded in streamflow reveals how the water-storage capacity of thawed ground changes as permafrost thaws.

A new model improves the representations of river networks in climate models across scales.

Variations in burn severity are a key control on the chemical constituents of dissolved organic matter delivered to streams within a single burn perimeter.

Mesoscale convective systems that are clustered in time and space have broader impacts on flooding than individual systems.

Atmospheric rivers are increasingly reaching the Arctic in winter, slowing sea ice recovery and accounting for a third of winter sea ice decline from 1979-2021.

Performing closure studies using aerosol size, aerosol composition, and cloud condensation nuclei measurements of mixed aerosol from the Southern Great Plains region.

A newly developed basin-scale river corridor model can quantify how riverbed microbes drive respiration and the generation of carbon dioxide in the Columbia River Basin.

Deep learning helps make predictions on the effects of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on river flows more accurate.

How a model treats gas transfer behavior onto dust and sea salt particles significantly influences nitrate aerosols and their effects on climate.

A comparison between model simulations and high-resolution satellite observations shows discrepancies in projections of convective storms.

With future warming, storms in the Western U.S. will be larger and produce more intense precipitation, particularly near the storm center, and increase flood risks.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

PNNL welcomes new joint appointments to expand the research productivity and scientific impact of both PNNL and the university partners, broadening the base of expertise at each institution and helping to build interdisciplinary teams.
