Short-term flooding of an experimental coastal forest impacted soils but not trees, with implications for understanding ecosystem disturbance responses.

Tests show which low-cost 3D method best matches field measurements to minimize errors in mapping headwaters.

Lab experiments show that just a few saltwater pulses can rapidly alter soil pore structure and reduce oxygen flow, stressing tree roots in coastal forest soils.

Differences in dissolved organic matter between rivers and estuaries follow similar patterns across freshwater and saltwater coasts.

Newly designed sensor network comprehensively monitors a range of coastal landscapes to better understand nutrient and elemental dynamics that drive ecosystem function.

Exploring how shifting boundaries between upland and wetland areas influence soil processes and signal early ecosystem transformations.

A high-performance, scalable pipeline transforms raw high frequency coastal sensor data into research-ready datasets.

Researchers at PNNL have developed an interpretable, lightweight AI model that can easily predict weld microstructure features using only basic machine sensor inputs.

Researchers at PNNL are asking: how compatible, exactly, is hydrogen fuel with the existing natural gas pipeline network?

Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

This research helps predict how coastal forests will respond to future sea level changes which is crucial for protecting these ecosystems.

Due to their inherent variability and complexity over space and time, scientists are challenged to understand the complex interactions among soil, vegetation, and water along coastal terrestrial-aquatic interfaces.

The Coastal Observations, Mechanisms, and Predictions Across Systems and Scales: Field, Measurements, and Experiments project established a network of observational field sites across Chesapeake Bay and western Lake Erie.

This study characterized above- and below-ground properties to explore the spatial heterogeneity of the terrestrial aquatic interface ecosystem within the Chesapeake Bay area and evaluate the major drivers of soil respiration.

PDX, PNNL, and Sandia National Laboratories are exploring the feasibility of hydrogen fuel for the PDX bus fleet—an idea that could have novel benefits for hazard resilience.

Klickitat Valley Health's fuel cell and microgrid project boosts rural healthcare, enhancing energy resilience and sustainability for social equity.

After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.

This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.

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.
