Groundwater modeling of irrigation return flow dynamics is important for improving estimates of water availability.

Researchers created the first open-source database of exotic materials eyed for use in quantum applications.

Jingshan Du was named an associate editor of the journal Frontiers for Young Minds, which publishes articles about scientific research for young readers.

A review describes the latest techniques for simulating hydropower at large scales to inform power grid planning and operations.

Hydropower generation estimated using water proxy data leads to a revision of the nation’s historical seasonal hydropower output.

A new model uses machine learning to project electricity loads across the United States.

A combined experimental and theoretical study identified multiple interactions that affect the performance of redox-active metal oxides for potential electrochemical separation and quantum computing applications.

Future global warming-induced changes to watershed and coastal processes can significantly affect the magnitude of fluvial-coastal compound flooding.

New research finds that global warming will bring stronger and more frequent hurricanes to U.S. coasts, up by a third compared to current levels.

Mesoscale convective systems that are clustered in time and space have broader impacts on flooding than individual systems.

Materials science postdoctoral researcher Jingshan Du received a Distinguished Student Program award to participate in the American Physical Society meeting.

More realistically representing crops and agricultural practices dramatically improves simulations of carbon and energy exchange.

Thin oxide films play an important role in electronics and energy storage. Researchers in PNNL’s film growth laboratory create, explore, and improve new thin oxide films.

In new work, PNNL researchers find that 10 gigatons of carbon dioxide may need to be pulled from Earth's atmosphere and oceans annually to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. A diverse suite of carbon dioxide removal methods will be key.

A scenario approach was used to explore the potential future role of hydropower around the globe considering the multisectoral dynamics of regional energy systems and basin-specific water resources.

A new report, based on a community workshop and literature review, summarizes some of the biggest challenges in understanding and modeling Earth system and human–Earth system dynamics in the Puget Sound region of Washington State.

Building new climate outcome scenarios by stitching together pieces of existing ones.

Researchers found that specific landscape metrics consistently outperform traditional population downscaling methods.

Haewon McJeon will co-edit a special issue of Energy and Climate Change focused on national decarbonization strategies across the globe.
