Wendy Shaw begins an initial two-year appointment to the editorial advisory board of Sustainable Energy & Fuels.

We are pleased to welcome 20 new joint appointees to PNNL.

Qiu Yang begins a one-year term as an associate editor of the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences.

Anthropogenically forced evolution of the leading neutral mode explains historical trends in global surface temperature, lending confidence to regional projections related to modes.

Researchers isolated a molecular copper hydride monomer for the first time.

Aerosols from sea-spray that are transported by atmospheric rivers enhance snow precipitation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Dalei Hao joined the editorial board of the journal Earth System Science Data, covering land and ice.

Plastic upcycling efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals while using less of the precious metal ruthenium. The method could recycle waste plastic pollution into useful products, helping keep it out of landfills.

The initial conditions and setup influence how large-eddy simulations representation atmospheric properties important for larger-scale models.

Changes in land use and land cover have diverse and contrasting effects on different types of rain.

Metrics and diagnostics that improve connections between model errors and their sources can lead to better precipitation modeling.

A circumglobal circulation pattern related to natural climate variability influences the location of summertime hot spots.

Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide change when in the day tropical forest rainfall occurs.

The Earth system model aerosol-cloud diagnostics package version 1 uses aircraft, ship, and surface measurements to evaluate simulated aerosols in an Earth system model.

Joint appointee Jenny Yang named an associate editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

A process developed at PNNL that converts biomass and waste into a chemical intermediate or into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel is available for commercial licensing.

A new simple and scalable synthesis produces nanoparticle assemblies that can perform catalytic hydrogen sensing at room temperature for the first time.

A study that combined experiments and theory showed how model enzymes control challenging reactions involving highly reactive carbocations.

Tropical cyclones induce sea surface cooling, but their associated heavy rainfall reduces the effect through increased ocean mixing.
