The methods researchers use to estimate crop yield gaps determines the location of projected future agricultural “breadbasket” regions.

Interactions between fronts and the land-sea breeze lead to strong vertical exchange in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Steven Smith joins an international team that will evaluate current data and identify what should be included for future climate modeling.

Data-driven experiments can help determine best practices for Random Forest machine learning to predict water quality, particularly nitrate levels.

When wildfires burn in the west, the heat and airborne particles they release inflict stronger rain and larger hail upon central states.

Evaluating the relative roles of soil water stress and vapor pressure deficit at limiting canopy conductance in coupled land-atmosphere simulations.

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.

Earth Scientist Ben Bond-Lamberty joins the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences as one of three editors.

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

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

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

Hydrologist Fernando Miralles-Wilhelm will lead the Joint Global Change Research Institute as its director, looking to the future of integrated assessments.

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

Secondary organic aerosol formation from monoterpenes is more strongly influenced by oxidant and monoterpene structure than by nitric oxides and hydroperoxy radical concentrations.

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

Two case studies of clouds evolving over the Arctic provide data that will help researchers evaluate cloud simulations.
