PNNL's McDearis and Rod designed a new device—a porous soil stake—that, once installed, enables repeated sampling of a specific soil site at multiple depths, without further disrupting the soil.
This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.
Over the past three years, PNNL’s Know Your Collaborator (KYC) workshop series has engaged hundreds of academic partners and institutional researchers internationally on the topic of research security.
Researchers integrated field measurements, lab experiments, and model simulations to study oxygen consumption dynamics in soils along a coastal gradient.
This research explores how changes in groundwater levels affect the chemistry of underground water, especially in areas where land meets water, like wetlands.
This study examined the role of river sinuosity using computer models to understand what drives hyporheic exchange, a process that significantly affects water quality and ecosystem health.
Despite the widespread presence of RNA viruses in soils, little is known about the relative contributions and interactions of biological and environmental factors shaping the composition of soil RNA viral communities.
Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.
Erich Hsieh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for OE’s Energy Storage Division, shared insights about the Grid Storage Launchpad and energy storage innovations .
A compilation of soil viral genomes provides a comprehensive description of the soil virosphere, its potential to impact global biogeochemistry, and an open database for future investigations of soil viral ecology.
