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

For PNNL’s Jonathan Evarts, Hope Lackey, and Erik Reinhart, this partnership with WSU opened doors and provided opportunities for their scientific careers to flourish.

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists discuss phenomics and the factors that influence DNA instructions to bring about the world around us.

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.

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.

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

The Pacific Northwest Association of Toxicologists (PANWAT) presented its annual Toxicology Achievement Award to Katrina Waters at the Society of Toxicology Pacific Northwest Chapter Meeting, held in Lynnwood, Washington, on September 30th.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

Staff at PNNL recently traveled to Cyprus to facilitate a multilateral workshop on chemical forensics investigations hosted by the U.S. Department of State, Office of Weapons of Mass Destruction Terrorism.

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

Staff at PNNL recently visited the University of Texas at San Antonio to deliver lectures on international law, arms control, and nuclear nonproliferation during Nuclear Policy Week.

Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.

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

PMedIC, the PNNL and OHSU joint research collaboration, contributes to student success and impact in biomedicine.

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.

PNNL staff scientist selected as a guest editor for a special issue titled “Ligand-Metal Complementarity in Rare Earth and Actinide Chemistry,” in the well-known journal Inorganic Chemistry.

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.
