Marine biologist Lenaig Hemery leads Triton Field Trials research studying how marine energy systems can lead to changes in habitats.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

Dive officer John Vavrinec helps the Triton Initiative conduct underwater research to improve environmental monitoring around marine energy systems.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton was invited to serve on the advisory board of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology.

Radiation from natural sources in the environment can limit the performance of superconducting quantum bits, known as qubits. The discovery has implications for quantum computing and for the search for dark matter.

A cadre of physical scientists, engineers and computing experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is poised to participate in the launch of three new DOE Office of Science-sponsored quantum information science research centers.

Four researchers from PNNL were recently honored for contributing to two U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy initiatives that support the blue economy and building-grid integration.

Ecological modeler Kate Buenau discusses how the Triton Initiative can use modeling to predict potential environmental effects of marine energy systems.

Their consistency and predictability makes tidal energy attractive, not only as a source of electricity but, potentially, as a mechanism to provide reliability and resilience to regional or local power grids.

PNNL’s Zhaoqing Yang recently served as guest editor for the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering’s issue on marine energy.

Lenaïg Hemery, a marine energy specialist with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has been appointed to the position of topic editor for the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering.

Electrical engineer Nolann Williams supports technical development for DOE-funded projects building marine energy environmental monitoring technologies.

On World Oceans Day, an international team of marine scientists reports that the potential impact of marine renewable energy to marine life is likely small or undetectable, though some uncertainty remains.

PNNL is managing the Data Archive and Portal, which provides the wind research community with secure, timely, easy, and open access to all data brought in from research under DOE’s Atmosphere to Electrons program.

Mama and calf humpback whales—considered a vulnerable species that might be entangled in underwater equipment—star in a new animation video that depicts the marine mammals’ scale and movements relative to floating offshore wind farms.

Researchers at PNNL are now leading research to mitigate biofouling and its impacts on the environment and industry

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.
