Hybrid land use model incorporates key factors to understanding agriculture’s potential response to climate change.

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are closer to understanding how iron may pave the way for sequestration of technetium-99 contaminants in the subsurface.

Differences in the rainfall intensity of mesoscale convective systems and other types of warm—season rainfall in the central United States lead to differences in their impacts over land.

Atmospheric rivers that make landfall on the U.S. West Coast show broad increases in size and intensity with warmer local sea surfaces.
