New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.
The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.
New research investigating water-lean solvents for carbon dioxide capture identifies the unique chemistry possible with their use, may lead to new design principles that move beyond single carbon capture.
Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy selects PNNL project to help accelerate the development of marine carbon dioxide removal technologies.
Variations in the level of market globalization can greatly affect the amount of water required to meet future global demand for agricultural commodities.
Climate change and socioeconomic pressures are transforming passenger and freight transportation in the Arctic, producing effects that have yet to be fully understood.
Testing the assumption that different future socio-economic development patterns, which result in different land-use changes, can be paired with different future climate outcomes for risk assessments in a multi-model framework.
Incorporating spatially explicit land characteristics in a global model illustrates the complex effects of applying uniform regional protection assumptions in a global analysis.
PNNL-Sequim scientists will spend the next year testing a new technology that could allow the ocean to soak up more carbon dioxide without contributing to ocean acidification.
