PNNL scientist James Stegen and an international team of collaborators recently published a comprehensive review of variably inundated ecosystems (VIEs).

This study presents an automated method to detect and classify open- and closed-cell mesoscale cellular convection (MCC) using long-term ground-based radar observations.

Neural networks techniques enable the efficient capture of electron correlation effects in reduced-dimensionality spaces.

In the search for rare physics events, extremely pure materials are essential. A partnership between PNNL and Ultramet has led to tungsten with low contamination from other elements.

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

Erik Lentz and Christian Boutan will research quantum information science-enabled discoveries in high energy physics with these awards.

Developing a new scheme to more efficiently solve quantum chemistry problems.

Researchers have created an algorithm that slashes the calculations necessary to prepare and customize data for quantum computing.

A potential quantum advantage for fluid dynamics simulations from molecular to atmospheric scales with a new formula for success.

Several Earth system components are at a high risk of undergoing rapid, irreversible qualitative changes or ‘tipping’ with increasing climate warming.

Seawater threatens to intrude into coastal freshwater aquifers that millions of people depend on for drinking water and irrigation. This study investigates sea-level rise impacts on the global coastal groundwater table.

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.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a new theoretical method for studying highly correlated systems.

A recent paper published in Science sheds light on how aerosols—tiny particles in the air—released by industrial activities can trigger downstream snowfall events.

His expertise in data science and commitment to open science will drive dataset dissemination and advance collaborative global research efforts.

Nineteen PNNL-affiliated researchers have been named to Clarivate’s 2024 list of the world's most highly cited researchers.

A new study reveals just how costly Earth's tipping points can be.

Through a detailed examination of historical data supported by mechanistic analysis and model experiments, researchers unveil that a large-scale climate system intensifies heat extremes and wildfire risks in the PNW.

How to keep stray radiation from “shorting” superconducting qubits; a pair of studies shows where ionizing radiation is lurking and how to banish it.

This study shows that dry dynamics alone is not enough to understand jet stream persistence. Instead, clouds and precipitation are more important contributors than internal “dry” mechanisms to this memory of the Southern Hemisphere jet.
