Researchers have developed the first coastal transport model for microplastics to understand how particles move in waterways and coastal currents.

Zhiqun (Daniel) Deng, Lab Fellow at PNNL, has been named a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, an honor that recognizes outstanding engineering achievements.

A new study led by PNNL researcher TC Chakraborty provides some answers about how irrigated agricultural land near cities affects urban heat stress.

PNNL's accomplishments in FY 2024 help address the remaining challenges the wind industry faces.

New datasets delineating global urban land support scientific research, application, and policy, but they can produce different results when applied to the same problem making it difficult for researchers to decide which to use.

PNNL was well represented at the NAWEA/WindTech 2024 Conference with 13 PNNL experts at the conference sponsored by the North American Wind Energy Academy.

Knowing future snow levels is key for managing the recovery of endangered bighorn sheep. PNNL scientists help to forecast how the sheep could fare.

A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

The demand for energy is growing—and so is the technology supporting it. However, future development of power generation technologies could be affected by a key factor: material supply.

PNNL's Alison Colotelo receives award from the National Hydropower Association on behalf of Salmon Summit team at the 2024 Clean Currents conference.

Mengqi Zhao and Chris Vernon were selected to serve in editorial roles at JOSS for Earth science and data science, respectively.

Latest Distributed Wind Market Report helps the Department of Energy identify market trends and new opportunities for distributed wind power projects.

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

A new mini-acoustic transmitter and tagging procedure is able to provide data on small, sensitive fish species like the American shad.

New findings document fewer ship tracks, reduced cloud cover, and boosted warming after ship emissions regulations took effect in 2020.

Aerosol particles imbue climate models with uncertainty. New work by PNNL researchers reveals where in the world and under what conditions new particles are born.

Accessing groundwater may become more difficult—and more expensive—as groundwater supplies become increasingly scarce and underground aquifer levels fall.

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.

Andrew White goes back to his alma mater, Georgia Tech, as young alumni keynote speaker for the Sustainability Showcase, part of the university’s larger Sustainable Development Goals Action & Awareness Week.

A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.
