This study evaluated the sensitivity of multiple geophysical methods to measure and evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of select soil properties across terrestrial–aquatic interfaces.

Research identifies the mechanisms through which peptoids affect ions in solution and a mineral surface, increasing the rate of carbonate crystal growth.

Francesca Pierobon holds a joint appointment with UW and WSU to advance low-carbon technologies.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists discussed their materials research at Accelerate’24.

Calculating quantum chemistry quickly allows scientists to refine their understanding of complex chemical systems.

Researchers integrated field measurements, lab experiments, and model simulations to study oxygen consumption dynamics in soils along a coastal gradient.

PNNL researchers have developed a new, physics-informed machine learning model that accurately predicts how heat accumulates and dissipates during friction stir processing.

Pyrocumulonimbus clouds are increasing in frequency as large wildfires become more prevalent in a warming climate. These clouds can inject smoke particles into the atmosphere, where they can remain suspended for several months.

Samrat (Sam) Chatterjee, a PNNL chief data scientist and team leader with the Data Sciences and Machine Intelligence group, was co-author of a CSET workshop report on agentic artificial intellilligence

This research explores how changes in groundwater levels affect the chemistry of underground water, especially in areas where land meets water, like wetlands.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of isolated deep convection & mesoscale convective systems using self-organizing maps to categorize large-scale meteorological patterns and a tracking algorithm to monitor their life cycle.

Joint Appointee Mitra Taheri spoke on the AI in Government episode of the EY Leading into Tomorrow podcast.

The speed and agility of cloud computing opens doors to completing advanced computational chemistry workflows in days instead of months.

Lauren Charles, a chief data scientist at PNNL, has been named an affiliate member of Global One Health Academy at North Carolina State University.

This study explored the future effects of climate change and low-carbon energy transition (i.e., emission reduction) on Arctic offshore oil and gas production.

Hydropower could expand substantially during the 21st century in many regions of the world to meet rising or changing energy demands. However, this expansion might harm river ecosystems.

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

PNNL chemist John Shilling builds custom chamber helping uncover how aerosol particles and clouds contribute to Earth’s changing climate.

Scientists plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to compile the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created.

Using numerical simulations to reproduce the laboratory experiments, this study reveals that liquid droplets are present near the bottom surface, which warms and moistens the air in the chamber.
