Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

Studying how microorganisms behave in space could facilitate farming in the final frontier and lead to better crops on Earth.

Silicone wristbands could be more convenient option for collecting exposure data.

Organismal contribution and community interaction drive soil organic matter breakdown by microbes.

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.

PNNL gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.

PNNL computational neuroscientist Rogene Eichler West honored with the International Society for Neuroregulation & Research Joseph and Ann Marie Horvat Distinguished Service Award.

PNNL joint appointee Auroop Ganguly uses data science to study the impacts of climate change.

Scientists can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 by using a bubble that spills its contents like a piñata when encountering the virus.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

A new web-based tool provides easy-to-understand progress metrics and other data about groundwater cleanup sites overseen by the DOE Office of Environmental Management.

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

Identifying a novel gene function on soil viruses.

Study shows coastal plants are dying from hydraulic failure and carbon starvation.

Biochemical preservation and mineral association retain carbon in grassland soils, resulting in consistent molecular composition across ecosystems.

PNNL chemist Ying Zhu was honored as one of the top 40 researchers under the age of 40 in analytical science by The Analytical Scientist.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

Microbes and viruses play key roles in carbon and nitrogen cycling in riverbed sediments.

Proteins from “auxiliary” genes in soil viruses play a role in the carbon cycle and climate, scientists have found.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.
