Variations in burn severity are a key control on the chemical constituents of dissolved organic matter delivered to streams within a single burn perimeter.
Atmospheric rivers are increasingly reaching the Arctic in winter, slowing sea ice recovery and accounting for a third of winter sea ice decline from 1979-2021.
Performing closure studies using aerosol size, aerosol composition, and cloud condensation nuclei measurements of mixed aerosol from the Southern Great Plains region.
A newly developed basin-scale river corridor model can quantify how riverbed microbes drive respiration and the generation of carbon dioxide in the Columbia River Basin.
With future warming, storms in the Western U.S. will be larger and produce more intense precipitation, particularly near the storm center, and increase flood risks.
A multi-omics analysis provides the framework for gaining insights into the structure and function of microbial communities across multiple habitats on a planetary scale
Machine learning models help identify important environmental properties that influence how often extreme rain events occur with critical intensity and duration.
A PNNL-developed computational framework accurately predicts the thermomechanical history and microstructure evolution of materials designed using solid phase processing, allowing scientists to custom design metals with desired properties.
A scenario approach was used to explore the potential future role of hydropower around the globe considering the multisectoral dynamics of regional energy systems and basin-specific water resources.
Report for the Oregon Public Utility Commission highlights innovations and best practices for resilience and utility planning could be helpful to other states as well.
A new report, based on a community workshop and literature review, summarizes some of the biggest challenges in understanding and modeling Earth system and human–Earth system dynamics in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.
