Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.

Extreme sea levels will become 100 times more frequent by the end of the century around the world, according to a new study.

With a focus on prevention, PNNL researchers are working to predict droughts, enhance grid resilience, and manage forests to reduce wildfire.

A new study shows that, when starved, some trees turn to self-digestion before dialing down energy storage.

A new research partnership between PNNL and the University of Nevada, Reno aims to tackle critical challenges such as climate change, infrastructure resilience and cybersecurity.

Michael Tillou, a senior buildings research engineer at PNNL, has been honored with an ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award.

Research shows that previous drought and flooding conditions strongly influence soil respiration and carbon composition.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

Understanding the fundamental relationships between river flow, water exchange, and nutrient cycling can inform ecosystem effects of river regulation.

Scientists at PNNL and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation identify acres of spawning habitat in the Upper Columbia River.

This is a story of how Nikki Sather's career journey studying the pulse of the Pacific Northwest's ecosystems began with a salmon's heartbeat. Sather currently works as an earth scientist at PNNL's Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

Niri Govind and Amity Andersen co-hosted a workshop to explain how to use theory and modeling in the interpretation of X-ray absorption spectroscopy data.

Variability in field measurement conditions likely does not impact estimates of an important flux in the global carbon cycle.

PNNL researchers simulated residential battery use and found in-home energy storage can benefit both the power grid and homeowners.
