Marine scientist Joe Haxel leads Triton Field Trials research studying methods to monitor underwater noise associated with marine energy systems.

The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL), part of PNNL, in Sequim, Washington, is the U.S. Department of Energy’s only marine research facility. It has a rich history and expanding research scope.

Washington and Oregon coastlines hold most promising areas to pull power from West Coast waves, according to a recent study on wave energy.

A special issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal, titled “Utilizing Offshore Resources for Renewable Energy Development,” focuses on research and development efforts including those at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

David Manz is a cybersecurity researcher who is working with cyber-physical systems to better protect the critical infrastructure.

Fish biologist Garrett Staines leads Triton Field Trials research on marine animal behavior and collision risk associated with marine energy devices.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Water and energy researchers are invited to join a new task force as a way to collaborate broadly on the intersection of the two topics. The task force is part of IEEE's Power and Energy Society and was launched by PNNL and UU researchers.

In a new video series, PNNL is highlighting six scientific and technical experts in the national security domain throughout the fall. Each was promoted to scientist and engineer level 5 earlier this year.

Ocean engineer Molly Grear leads Triton Field Trials research studying methods to detect electromagnetic fields associated with marine energy devices.

PNNL researchers developed two web-based tools to assess and mitigate cyberthreats to utilities—inside and outside their firewalls. Both are low cost and can be used by control room operators who are not cybersecurity experts.

The Facility Cybersecurity toolkit, developed by PNNL, is designed for federal facilities to help implement the presidential executive order on cybersecurity, but it is also available for commercial facilities without charge.

Today’s critical infrastructure systems are increasingly vulnerable to attacks that could cripple civil society, according to cybersecurity experts.

PNNL and the Georgia Institute of Technology vow to collaborate more impactfully and more often in a new MOU announced October 23, 2020.

PNNL researchers established an Internet of Things Common Operating Environment (IoTCOE) laboratory to explore the risks associated with IoT connectivity to the internet, the energy grid and other critical infrastructures.

The Ocean Observing Prize is a competitive incentive program to help inventors advance new concepts for marine energy technologies that can power ocean observing systems, particularly those that inform us about hurricane formation.

PNNL deployed two research buoys in waters off the West Coast for the first time in deep water, supporting a DOE and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management effort to gather measurements that support offshore wind locations and technologies.

Marine biologist Lenaig Hemery leads Triton Field Trials research studying how marine energy systems can lead to changes in habitats.

A new agreement between Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and The University of Texas at El Paso will create research and internship opportunities.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.
