After 50 years in science and on the eve of retirement, Laboratory Fellow Karin Rodland, a cancer cell biologist at PNNL, is working on experiments she has dreamed about for decades.

PNNL biomedical scientist Ernesto Nakayasu brings expertise in host-pathogen interactions and the interconnection between the immune response and cellular metabolism to provide constructive review for submitted manuscripts.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed and continue to maintain a global database of measurements made of soil-to-atmosphere CO2 flows, termed soil respiration.

Computational Biologist Bobbie-Jo Webb-Robertson has been named Co-Director for the Precision Medicine Innovation Co-Laboratory (PMedIC).

A recent paper published in Water Resources Research found that the spatial variability of subsurface sediments, and seasonal fluctuations in a river’s water level, influences the behavior of a uranium contaminant plume, particularly in ...

DOE researchers investigated the role of microbial genetic diversity in two major subsurface biogeochemical processes: nitrification and denitrification.

SoilBox provides in-depth imaging and characterization of soil microbial communities in their native environments.

Tree presence impacts how soils respond to temperature change in coastal forest.

Jason McDermott is a PNNL computational biologist whose research interests include machine learning, data integration, and network inference. He unravels complex data related to cancer, infectious disease, and soil microbiomes.

Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reviewed the current state of knowledge about the impacts of climate change on soil microorganisms in different climate-sensitive soil ecosystems.

A new study examines how back how back-to-back extreme events can affect a forest landscape.

Enzyme production in peatlands reduces carbon lost to respiration under future high temperatures.

Janet Jansson and Christer Jansson of PNNL have each been awarded a NASA grant to explore how life adapts and changes during spaceflight.

The microbial communities within the loose, friable aggregations of organic and mineral components in soil are highly organized spatially, shaped in part by the structure of the soil itself.

Nitrogen is a critical nutrient regulating productivity in many ecosystems and influences nutrient availability by affecting organic matter decomposition rates.

Biogeochemical activity in the hyporheic zone (HZ), sediments where the flowing waters of a river mix with shallow groundwater, supports many of the biological processes that occur within a watershed.

Turbulent vertical fluxes of heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide (CO2) occur constantly between land surfaces and the atmosphere.

Co-authors of a paper in Hydrological Processes led by PNNL researchers Zhangshuan Hou, Timothy Scheibe, and Christopher Murray, produced a map that identifies different classes of sediments which compose the riverbed along the Hanford ...
