If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.

In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.

New research finds that global warming will bring stronger and more frequent hurricanes to U.S. coasts, up by a third compared to current levels.

In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.

Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.

The world's current climate pledges won't limit global warming to 1.5 °C. We will overshoot. A new study shows that more ambitious climate pledges could minimize the overshoot.

Climate change sets the stage for hurricanes to rapidly intensify faster, bringing wetter storms to the U.S. Atlantic Coast and other coastlines.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

Soil and its microbial inhabitants from Washington state are heading for the International Space Station today.

Through the Net Zero World Initiative, expertise from DOE national laboratories will be harnessed to put global net zero within reach.

A new model offers more accurate predictions of how intensely hurricanes may strike.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Clarivate Analytics recently unveiled its 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers. The list named 17 PNNL scientists for their influential and oft-referenced work.

A new study is among the first to trace the molecular connections between genetics, the gut microbiome and memory in a mouse model bred to resemble the diversity of the human population.

Fifteen PNNL scientists are part of a team that has identified a set of biomarkers that indicate which patients infected with the Ebola virus are most at risk of dying from the disease.

PNNL scientist Janet Jansson led scores of scientists who published in the journal Nature the most extensive snapshot ever of the vast microbial life on Earth.

Researcher Kris Brandvold is hunting down the exact ways that microbes affect our bile and change its function in our body.

The Multi-omics for Microbiomes conference focused on different approaches that let researchers paint better pictures of microbial communities.

Scientists are taking their cues from fungi in the digestive tracts of cows, goats and sheep in the search for new ways to create sustainable fuels and medicines.

Garry Buchko is part of a team that has solved the structures of 1,000 proteins which enable pathogens to live, thrive and infect people.
