A newly developed basin-scale river corridor model can quantify how riverbed microbes drive respiration and the generation of carbon dioxide in the Columbia River Basin.

PNNL-developed catalytic process and catalyst to upgrade ethanol to sustainable aviation fuel wins American Chemical Society award.

How a model treats gas transfer behavior onto dust and sea salt particles significantly influences nitrate aerosols and their effects on climate.

A comparison between model simulations and high-resolution satellite observations shows discrepancies in projections of convective storms.

First-of-its-kind genomic catalog lends insight into previously unknown processes at the river’s edge.

With future warming, storms in the Western U.S. will be larger and produce more intense precipitation, particularly near the storm center, and increase flood risks.

PNNL hydrogen expert Olga Marina has been named among the pioneering women in applied physics in a roadmap published in Journal of Physics D.

Matthew Paiss brings nearly 30 years of emergency response experience with him to this new role.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

PNNL battery researcher Jie Xiao collaborates with academic and industry partners to address scientific challenges in manufacturing lithium-based batteries.

PNNL welcomes new joint appointments to expand the research productivity and scientific impact of both PNNL and the university partners, broadening the base of expertise at each institution and helping to build interdisciplinary teams.

More realistically representing crops and agricultural practices dramatically improves simulations of carbon and energy exchange.

PNNL senior materials scientist Keerti Kappagantula has been named to the 2023 Nominating Committee of ASM International.

Patented microchannel heat-exchange technology enables the production of hydrogen from methane, the main ingredient of natural gas, while producing 30 percent less carbon dioxide than conventional processes.

PNNL’s Katie Arkema was selected to be on NASEM committee focused on public health and conservation.

Department of Energy, Office of Science Director Asmeret Asefaw Berhe visited PNNL to learn about the Lab’s drive to conduct discovery science, commitment to science for an equitable future, and development of a diversified STEM workforce.
