The Health Physics Society has selected Jonathan Napier, a PNNL environmental health physicist, to serve as a delegate to the International Radiation Protection Association’s General Assembly.

Streamflow variability plays a crucial role in shaping the dynamics and sustainability of Earth's ecosystems, which can be simulated and projected by ESMs. However, the simulation of streamflow is subject to considerable uncertainties.

PNNL scientists have been studying how rivers and streams breathe. Their research focuses on respiration, organic matter, and natural disturbances that affect rivers and streams.

PNNL’s Chris Chini has been named a guest editor of Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability’s special issue examining energy infrastructure vulnerabilities from physical and natural threats.

A new study uses direct numerical simulations to develop a near-surface turbulence model for thermal convection using interpretable and physics-aware neural networks, broadening the applications of numerical simulations.

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

Reproducible workflows for binning and visualizing nuclear magnetic resonance spectra from environmental samples.

The Earth System Model Aerosol–Cloud Diagnostics package version 2 uses aircraft, ship, ground, and satellite measurements to evaluate detailed physical processes in aerosols, clouds, and aerosol–cloud interactions.

Decreased snow cover observed over the past few decades and projected for the future suggest increasing snow droughts that threaten water security and management.

The Emissions Model Intercomparison Project examined how selected emissions-related properties affected results in 11 global chemistry and Earth-system models.

Using regional meteorological data from an atmosphere reanalysis product, scientists identified 12 unique winter weather systems in the Puget Sound area, featuring differing precipitation and temperature responses to climate variabilities.

PNNL researchers use chemometric analysis to model chemistry in molten salt.

With the help of the U.S. State Department, PNNL climate scientists assisted counterparts in Malaysia and Thailand in exploring carbon neutral goals.

PNNL’s Center for the Remediation of Complex Sites convened attendees from around the world to discuss challenges associated with environmental contamination.

Scientists stop the motion of atoms to watch electrons move in liquid water.

Clustering wildfires into four types based on their land-atmosphere drivers can potentially improve regional wildfire predictions.

Differences in water interactions lead to two gibbsite dissolution pathways modulated by solution acidity.

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

Three scientists at PNNL are lending more than 50 years of expertise to lead efforts to advance the nation’s Blue Economy.

PNNL scientists developed a new method to map exactly how a fungus works with leafcutter ants in a complex microbial community to degrade plant material at the molecular level. The team’s insights are important for biofuels development.
