Alicia Amerson's passion for science communication, expertise in marine mammal research, and experience in wildlife photography provide a robust foundation for her new role with the Clallam County Marine Resources Committee.
After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.
PNNL researchers Marisa Decillis and Luke Richards contributed to a Center for Security and Emerging Technology report, “Securing Critical Infrastructure in the Age of AI.”
Through a detailed examination of historical data supported by mechanistic analysis and model experiments, researchers unveil that a large-scale climate system intensifies heat extremes and wildfire risks in the PNW.
Energy storage is increasingly critical to building a resilient electric grid in the United States—a trend embodied by the Grid Storage Launchpad, a newly inaugurated, 93,000-square-foot facility at PNNL.
This study highlights the lack of sufficient eco-geomorphological observations to constrain Earth system models. This emphasizes the need for coordinated observations at various elevations across diverse wetland sites to reduce uncertainty.
A Helios Hydra UX DualBeam, which utilizes a plasma focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope for sample preparation and analysis, was installed at the Grid Storage Launchpad.
This study shows that dry dynamics alone is not enough to understand jet stream persistence. Instead, clouds and precipitation are more important contributors than internal “dry” mechanisms to this memory of the Southern Hemisphere jet.
A new digital twin platform can help hydropower dam operators by providing accurate and predictive models of physical turbines that improve facilities and enhance reliability.
Research that modeled increased heat pump adoption alongside climate change impacts in Texas showed that high-efficiency heat pumps buffer the strain that electric heating might put on the power grid.
