Researchers demonstrate an AI that can be taught to recognize cloud types by looking at millions of satellite images of clouds without requiring human input.
Researchers measured ice nucleating particles composition at the Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory, enabling them to identify sources of particles that make them effective ice nucleators.
In the latest issue of the Domestic Preparedness Journal, Ashley Bradley and Kristin Omberg share how new research is shedding light on the scientific and technological challenges with detecting fentanyl.
The surface oxygen functionality of graphene oxide may be tuned using ultraviolet light, affecting how differently charged ions move through the material.
The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.
PNNL and collaborators developed new models—recently approved by the U.S. Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)—to help utilities understand how new grid-forming inverter technology will enhance grid stability.
Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.
PNNL served as workshop partner for the 2024 Marine Technology Society Buoy Workshop, held this year in Sequim, Washington, where PNNL operates the only marine research facilities in the Department of Energy system.
Using a refined Earth system model, researchers found that wetlands over North America will be significantly affected by climate change under future scenarios
Researchers use dataset combining observational data with advanced numerical simulations to investigate the characteristics, drivers, and trends of extreme heat events in the High Arctic over past four decades
Researchers develop framework that tracks the aerosol–cloud interactions along the trajectories of air parcels and embed framework into Weather Research Forecast model.
A new study examines the effect of peptoid sequences on the mechanisms and kinetics of their two-dimensional assembly on mica surfaces and how molecular interactions alter assembly kinetics.
Study develops high-resolution land surface data for 2001 to 2020, including parameters of land use, vegetation, soil, and topography and demonstrated its use in k-scale simulation using the Energy Exascale Earth System Model.
A team of researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory developed a new and flexible software tool called “Advanced Spectra PCA Toolbox.”
Researchers show how satellite observations from the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and CloudSat radar can be used to constrain the ACI radiative forcing that is linked to droplet collection in marine liquid clouds.
