This study presents an automated method to detect and classify open- and closed-cell mesoscale cellular convection (MCC) using long-term ground-based radar observations.
Three PNNL technologies have been declared winners of 2025 Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards, named for a program that recognizes federal laboratories and their industry partners for outstanding technology transfer achievements.
PNNL’s year in review includes highlights ranging from advancing soil science to understanding Earth systems, expanding electricity transmission, detecting fentanyl, and applying artificial intelligence to aid scientific discovery.
PNNL Earth scientist Alison Delgado will serve as an author for the “Science of Response Management” chapter of the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6.)
The National Transmission Planning Study presents several transmission expansion scenarios that would reliably support the growing demand for energy across the nation.
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.
Once thought to cover too little of the Earth’s surface to affect climate at larger scales, new work finds that city sprawl does add to global warming—over land, at least.
Data scientist at PNNL receives the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society and Geonics Limited Early Career Award for work with geophysical modeling and subsurface inversion codes.
Tennessee State University received Department of Energy funding to establish an academy focused on preparing students and professionals to work in an emerging field: clean energy systems. PNNL is helping with that effort and others.
PNNL’s Center for the Remediation of Complex Sites convened attendees from around the world to discuss challenges associated with environmental contamination.
