The rate of conversion of cloud droplets to precipitation, known as the autoconversion rate, remains a major source of uncertainty in characterizing aerosol’s cloud lifetime effects and precipitation in global and regional models.
This study used historical data, remote sensing, and aquatic sensors to measure how far wildfire impacts propagated through the watershed after the 2022 Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fire, New Mexico’s largest wildfire in history.
The Coastal Observations, Mechanisms, and Predictions Across Systems and Scales: Field, Measurements, and Experiments project established a network of observational field sites across Chesapeake Bay and western Lake Erie.
Two new publications provide emergency response agencies with critical insights into commercially available unmanned ground vehicles used for hazardous materials response.
To assess the impact of observation period and gauge location, model parameters were learned on scenarios using different chunks of streamflow observations.
Jonathan Barr, senior systems engineer at PNNL, was recently invited to co-present on a panel at the Texas Department of Emergency Management Annual Conference.
PNNL's E-COMP initiative is helping unleash American energy innovation with advanced theories, models, and software tools to better operate power systems that rely heavily on high-speed power electronic control.
Properly identifying iodoplumbate species that are present and stable in a perovskite precursor solution is vital. New research offers insight into reactivity and dynamical processes in solution and the chemical properties of precursors.
CESER and PNNL convened a three-day summit with more than 100 state officials, cybersecurity experts, and industry leaders across 35 states to advance energy security planning, cyber risk assessment, and fortify protections against attacks.
Continued studies will deepen scientists’ understanding of virus-host interactions at the molecular level and also pave the way for developing better drugs to fight emerging viruses.
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.
CO2 separation is key for natural gas purification, but conventional techniques are high-emission processes. New research reveals a novel, doubly segmented, CO2-selective membrane that increases CO2 permeability and reduces emissions.
The Wildfire Mitigation Plan Database was built to support electric utilities, state governments, policymakers, and regulators in understanding and improving wildfire risk and resilience strategies.
Scientists are reviewing the current science of the mechanism and structural dynamics of methyl coenzyme-M reductase, an enzyme involved in biological methane conversion.
