This Triton Story discusses the many types of marine energy devices and the Triton Field Trials environmental monitoring research around wave, tidal, and riverine energy devices.
PNNL researchers have uncovered a plant-derived process that leads to the formation of aerosol particles over the Amazon rainforest and potentially other forested parts of the world.
Combining aircraft measurements and regional modeling allowed researchers to identify the role of in-plant biochemistry in secondary organic aerosol formation.
Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.
Moving toward a deeper understanding of the influence of large marine biogenic particles on cloud ice formation by combining modeling and observational data.
The Triton Initiative highlights different creative science communications, including photography, writing, and science art, and the impact they have on the project's marine energy research.
The rapid growth of urban nanoparticles via the condensation of organic vapors substantially alters shallow cloud formation and suppresses precipitation.
With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.
Molly Grear, an ocean engineer in the Coastal Sciences Division at PNNL, recently helped middle school summer science camp students from Blatchley Middle School in Sitka, Alaska, design their own energy wave converters.
PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.
Incorporating green infrastructure into flood protection plans alongside gray infrastructure can shield communities, reduce maintenance, and provide additional social and environmental benefits.
