PNNL’s Center for Cloud Computing is addressing challenges in data management and hybrid cloud solutions with industry and academic partnerships.

A cross-institutional team of scientists developed PeakQC, a new software tool for automated quality control of mass spectrometry data.

PNNL has developed a decision tool that provides contractors and installers with the information they need to properly select and install cold climate heat pumps, which are a key technology for achieving decarbonization.

In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.

PNNL helps deliver efficiency-related rules and requirements that steadily improve performance of America’s buildings, saving energy and costs and reducing carbon emissions.

Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.

Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.

The diversity and function of organic matter in rivers at a large scale are influenced by factors, such as the types of vegetation covering the land, the energy characteristics, and the breakdown potential of the molecules.

PNNL and The University of Texas at El Paso expand their premier partnership to include the Cyber Halo Innovation Research Program.

The Department of Energy has issued updated energy conservation standards for manufactured homes. The effort to establish the standards, supported by PNNL, is expected to result in a range of benefits for the manufactured housing sector.

Launching a premier partnership, PNNL and the University of Texas El Paso (UTEP) signed a memorandum of agreement on UTEP’s campus on October 6.

PNNL worked with the Department of Energy on the Commercial Packaged Boiler rule, which will help reduce energy use, enhance the environment, and save dollars.

ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.

A new microbial community model reveals previous exposure to hydrologic variation influences a species’ specialized biogeochemical functions.

Detailed characterization of molecules in, under, and along the Columbia River reveal potential mechanisms for biogeochemical cycling.

Integrating hydrogeology and biogeochemistry are required to model the dynamics of geochemical processes occurring in river corridor zones where groundwater and surface water mix.

Theoretical analysis reveals flow variations that happen over longer time periods affect a plume’s spread and center of mass.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

An updated version of a widely used database will provide powerful insights into the global carbon cycle.

Variability in field measurement conditions likely does not impact estimates of an important flux in the global carbon cycle.
