Sue Southard's one thousand dives as a PNNL staff member leave a ripple effect on efforts to keep our ocean healthy, our economy thriving, and our waters safe.
An analysis of land use in watersheds that supply drinking water to over a hundred United States cities identified a wide range of exposure to potential contamination.
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.
To improve the study of human-Earth interactions, a 10-year vision report by the MultiSector Dynamics community of practice encourages the use of emerging human systems datasets, embedded intelligence in modeling, and workforce diversity.
Despite an increase in future electricity demands, virtual water trading in the U.S. electricity sector is expected to decline as renewable energy expands.
PNNL-developed Water Balance Tool estimates consumption for major water end-uses. Understanding the breakout of water use identifies water efficiency opportunities and allows facility managers to spot potential system losses.
Buildings account for around 40 percent of our nation's energy use and consume 75 percent of our nation’s electricity each year. Energy use is also one of the biggest costs for facility owners.
