A new model improves the representations of river networks in climate models across scales.

Variations in burn severity are a key control on the chemical constituents of dissolved organic matter delivered to streams within a single burn perimeter.

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.

Mesoscale convective systems that are clustered in time and space have broader impacts on flooding than individual systems.

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.

Deep learning helps make predictions on the effects of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on river flows more accurate.

How a model treats gas transfer behavior onto dust and sea salt particles significantly influences nitrate aerosols and their effects on climate.

A comparison between model simulations and high-resolution satellite observations shows discrepancies in projections of convective storms.

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.

Materials science postdoctoral researcher Jingshan Du received a Distinguished Student Program award to participate in the American Physical Society meeting.

Matthew Paiss brings nearly 30 years of emergency response experience with him to this new role.

PNNL battery researcher Jie Xiao collaborates with academic and industry partners to address scientific challenges in manufacturing lithium-based batteries.
