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

The Center for Continuum Computing at PNNL aims to integrate cloud platforms, high-performance computing, and edge devices into a seamless ecosystem that accelerates scientific discovery.

A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

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

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.

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

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

Models have identified a new source of anthropogenic emissions driving the observed weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

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.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.
