At the Nonproliferation, Counterproliferation, and Disarmament Science Gordon Research Conference, researchers from PNNL shared research and scientific approaches for countering diverse threats.
Through collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security Soft Target Engineering to Neutralize the Threat Reality Center of Excellence, PNNL is advancing research and development of tools and methodologies to protect crowded places.
Team brought experience in nuclear waste forms and regulatory policies to the Federally Funded Research and Development Center’s report, which was reviewed by a National Academies’ committee.
To overcome high-performance computing bottlenecks, a research team at PNNL proposed using graph theory, a mathematical field that explores relationships and connections between a number, or cluster, of points in a space.
Ann Lesperance has been invited to continue her role on the Domestic Preparedness advisory board, which convenes multidisciplinary subject matter experts to support the Domestic Preparedness Journal's editorial plan.
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.
