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.

Understanding why the westerly jets shift poleward in certain seasons and regions but equatorward in others under global warming.

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

PNNL’s fall Pathways to Excellence award ceremony celebrated nearly 50 staff for their contributions across science, engineering, operations, and STEM education.

The Department of Energy has issued updated energy conservation standards for manufactured homes. The effort to establish the standards, supported by PNNL, is expected to result in a range of benefits for the manufactured housing sector.

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

A new version of the Department of Energy’s Technical Resilience Navigator allows users to prioritize resilience solutions based on both risk reduction and emissions impact.

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can, despite great distance, strengthen storms in downwind states.

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

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