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.

PNNL’s Sameera Horawalavithana joins the journals IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence and Humanities and Social Sciences Communications.

Deep learning helps make predictions on the effects of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation on river flows more accurate.

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 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.

A new nano-optical bioimaging technology in development at PNNL enables researchers to watch climate-bellwether microbes exchange metabolites and other essential signals.
