Microbes that were previously frozen in soils are becoming more active. This study demonstrates the diverse RNA viral communities found in thawed permafrost.
PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture by creating a system that efficiently captures CO2 and converts it into one of the world’s most widely used chemicals: methanol.
Extreme winter storms are growing wetter and changing shape in the Western United States—such changes could compromise infrastructure designed to withstand only so much water.
A systematic, multiple scenario approach was used to analyze the compounding impacts of demands for land for biofuels with increased land scarcity under a diverse set of uncertainties.
Scientists used a new analysis approach—coupled laser ablation sampling and capillary absorption spectroscopy—to gather more information on how the rhizosphere processes carbon.
