A new study suggests accessing groundwater in key regions could become prohibitively expensive as lower-cost stores are used up.

New work finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

A new model accounts for co-occurring environmental parameters to improve predictions of a hurricane’s intensification.

Research indicates shifts in two climate oscillations drive spatial differences in Arctic atmospheric river trends over the past four decades.

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications.

In this study, researchers used fire intensity data from satellites to map the distribution of aerosols into the atmosphere during a fire.

A new study uses direct numerical simulations to develop a near-surface turbulence model for thermal convection using interpretable and physics-aware neural networks, broadening the applications of numerical simulations.

PNNL scientists have put forth a new approach to protect the electric grid, creating an approach that sorts and prioritizes cyber threats on the fly.

A PNNL study developed a water management module for Xanthos that distinguishes between the operational characteristics of hydropower, irrigation, and flood control reservoirs.

The Earth System Model Aerosol–Cloud Diagnostics package version 2 uses aircraft, ship, ground, and satellite measurements to evaluate detailed physical processes in aerosols, clouds, and aerosol–cloud interactions.

ChatGrid is a practical application of the Department of Energy’s exascale computing efforts and offers a new experience in easy, intuitive, and interactive data interaction.

In soil, microbes produce and consume methane. Using a technique called pool dilution, researchers can separate the rate of methane production and consumption from the net rate.

Results of the PR100 study outline near- and short-term strategies for Puerto Rico to achieve a renewable power grid by 2050.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.

New research shows how cloud shapes affect the process of cloud evolution, resulting in better understanding of how clouds behave, improving weather forecasts, and enhancing comprehension of climate systems.

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.

PNNL has created the Center for AI @PNNL to coordinate the pioneering research of hundreds of scientists working on a range of projects in artificial intelligence.

Hi-C metagenomics-informed phage-host infection networks detected in soil pre- and post-drying.

If current warming trends continue, heat waves like Washington's deadliest could grow stronger and afflict the Pacific Northwest more often.
