Skillful predictions of tropical cyclone activity on subseasonal time scales may help mitigate their destructive impacts. This study investigates the combined impacts of atmospheric phenomena to better understand cyclone activity.

Hydrogen atoms released and trapped in irradiated gibbsite are destabilized by synthetic-precursor residuals.

Topographic variations have substantial impacts on surface hydrologic processes. This study introduced a new subgrid structure and methods to increase model accuracy for snow water equivalent predictions.

The Delaware River Basin is projected to experience a regional increase in flood severity under future climate scenarios.

The results of this study reveal that the degree of Arctic amplification, despite being controlled by complicated interactions among multiple factors, can be analytically understood.

Researchers found that in a future where the Great Plains are 4 to 6 degrees Celsius (°C) warmer as projected in a high-emission scenario, these storms could bring three times more intense rainfall.

A recent study suggests a higher global mean precipitation increase and narrows the uncertainty range.

The study found that the way a fire burns (in open air versus in an oven in a controlled lab setting) can greatly change the leftover materials (char or charcoal) and how they interact in the environment.

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

When exposed to a sufficiently high dose of ionizing radiation, gibbsite and boehmite are less susceptible to dehydration-induced breakdown.

IDREAM scientists capture electronic response to ionization.

A new model accounts for co-occurring environmental parameters to improve predictions of a hurricane’s intensification.

IDREAM research shows the size of cations in highly concentrated nitrite solutions affects the production of radicals.

Research indicates shifts in two climate oscillations drive spatial differences in Arctic atmospheric river trends over the past four decades.

In this study, researchers used fire intensity data from satellites to map the distribution of aerosols into the atmosphere during a fire.

A new study uses direct numerical simulations to develop a near-surface turbulence model for thermal convection using interpretable and physics-aware neural networks, broadening the applications of numerical simulations.

A PNNL study developed a water management module for Xanthos that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of hydropower, irrigation, and flood control reservoirs.

The Earth System Model Aerosol–Cloud Diagnostics package version 2 uses aircraft, ship, ground, and satellite measurements to evaluate detailed physical processes in aerosols, clouds, and aerosol–cloud interactions.

In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.

Differences in water interactions lead to two gibbsite dissolution pathways modulated by solution acidity.
